How to configure an incoming profile

Start the E-mail Router Configuration Manager. To do this, click Start, click All Programs,
click Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 E-mail Router, and then click Microsoft Dynamics CRM E-mail Router Configuration.
Click Configuration Profiles, and then click New.
In the E-mail Router Configuration Profile dialog box, type a profile name. For example, type Incoming Email.
For the direction, select Incoming.
For the email server type, select Exchange Version (2007/2010). The value for Protocol automatically changes to Exchange Web Services, and the value for Authentication
Type automatically changes to Windows Authentication.
In the Server field, type the complete URL for the incoming email server in the Exchange Web Services (EWS) URL format (https://<fqdn>/EWS/exchange.asmx).
To get the Exchange Web services URL, on Exchange PowerShell run the following command :- Get-webServicesVirtualDirectory | fl
Make sure you are able to access web service url from the system where you have installed Email Router.
In the Access Credentials list, select how the email router will gain access to the Exchange server. Preferably “Other Specified”.
On Advance TAB set the port no to 443. For Exchange 2007 onwards SSL is required.

Tip: - Instead of typing a URL, you can select the Use Autodiscover option to use the Autodiscover service to obtain the Exchange Web Services URL. (If Autodiscover is setup and working properly)

11. Click OK.

In the E-mail Router Configuration Manager, click Publish.

Give Application Impersonation permissions to the account used in Incoming profile :-
