How to automatically create TFS work item from emails

Does Visual Studio Online or TFS on premise offer the functionality to create work items from received emails?

I would like clients to be able to email through requirements and issues without having to navigate around the UI.

There are many ways to create work items from Outlook objects. You can write a quick VSTO add in to do this yourself (happy to help there if you like) or as Gern mentioned you can use one of the many products in the market. I'd recommend TMO but fair disclaimer - I am the founder of this product. Which by the way also means that I am always around to answer questions directly should anyone need me to :)

What about having them just log work items directly, instead of going through email. Work Item Only View

Other email option is TeamCompanion ... noticed this on an old post from Brian Harry, it don't know anything about it but looks like has Outlook 2013 support.
