Hi Krish,

The email will be saved as a Task record under the custom object. You can write a trigger on Task object to achieve this.

@Shashank_SFDC,

   can you give me some sample trigger for above task.

Here's a sample:

trigger updatequotestatus on task (after insert, after update){
	set<Id> quoteIds = new set<Id>();
	list<quote__c> quotes = new list<quote__c>();
	for(task t:trigger.new){
		if((t.what.getsobjecttype()==quote__c.sobjecttype)&&(t.subject.substring(0,5)=='Email'){
			quoteIds.add(t.whatId);
		}
	}
	for(quote__c q:[select status__c from quote__c where Id IN quoteIds]){
		quote__c qt = new quote__c();
		qt.Id = q.Id;
		qt.status__c = 'Proposal Sent';
		quotes.add(qt);
	}
	if(quotes.size()>0){
		update quotes;
	}
}

	for(task t:trigger.new){

			if((t.what.getsobjecttype()==quote__c.sobjecttype)&&(t.subject.substring(0,5)=='Email'){
				quoteIds.add(t.whatId);
			}
		}
	}
	for(quote__c q:[select status__c from quote__c where Id IN quoteIds]){
		quote__c qt = new quote__c();
		qt.Id = q.Id;

        quote__c qt = new quote__c();
        qt.Id = q.Id;
        qt.StageName__c = 'Proposal Sent';
        quotes.add(qt);
    }
    if(quotes.size()>0){
        update quotes;
    }
}

t.what.getsobjecttype()==quote__c.sobjecttype here replace what with whatId

because your getting "what" as null,
