Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for tracking inbound email messages in association with database records. A first electronic mail message received via a network from a first client device is processed, where the first electronic mail message has a header including a message identifier. The message identifier is obtained from the header and parsed such that an encrypted portion and one or more unencrypted portions are obtained, where a first unencrypted portion of the unencrypted portions includes an entity identifier associated with a first database record of a database. A secret key associated with the first electronic mail message is obtained and the first electronic mail message is authenticated using the secret key, the encrypted portion of the message identifier, and at least one unencrypted portion of the unencrypted portions of the message identifier. The first electronic mail message is stored in association with the first database record according to a result of authenticating the first electronic mail message.
