Workflow Rule to Update Type Field when Sending an Email

I'm using Salesforce Enterprise Edition. 

 

I am trying to create  a workflow rule that automatically updates the Type Field on a Task to Email, when an email is sent through salesforce.  My workflow criteria is  when Type does not contain Meeting, LVM, Call (basically null) and Status equals complete.  No matter what I cannot get it to run.  Every email sent through salesforce has no type.  Please help

Did you activate the workflow rule?  That's a common mistake -- people make workflow rules but then forget to set them to Active.

I wish that was the case but it seems to be active

Well what are the criteria on your workflow rule?
