eml format so it cannot be easily opened back up in Outlook and viewed/worked on with full integrity
That is, if a user receives an email they can forward it to the SharePoint list but it is the forwarded email that gets stored, not the original email as it was received by the user. User cannot get the original email into SharePoint after the fact.Attachments and email are stored as separate items in SharePoint.Constant admin overhead to enable new lists/libraries and setup email addresses and broadcast out to the user base.Users have to know which email addresses correspond to which lists/libraries.Considerable administration overhead to initially setup and configure.From a governance point of view only selected lists/libraries can be configured to accept incoming email.Quick and simple method for the user to get the email into SharePoint.Great post from Joel Olsen for more detail on email enabled lists/libraries (SP2007) Pros Users can then include the email address of the SharePoint list with the recipients of an email to have the email stored in SharePoint. Selected SharePoint lists & libraries can be enabled to receive incoming email on an email address that is unique to the list/library. Email enable a SharePoint List or Library Process No email attributes get prompted to SharePoint columnsĢ.The entire process has to be repeated for each email, can’t do multiple at once.You are left with the item open in the SharePoint UI so you can continue working on it (e.g.The email is stored in msg format so it can be opened back up in Outlook without loss of data or email integrity.Upload occurs through native SharePoint UI so you will have the opportunity to set content type, enter/select column values, apply validation, trigger custom event handlers etc.Now browse to the SharePoint list/library through the web browser and upload the file through the native SharePoint UI.Save the email (msg file) to a local drive.I recommend saving it in Outlook Message Format (.msg) Choose a format from the ‘Save as type’ drop down.In Outlook open an email then select File | Save As….Treat the email as a file just like any other file that you would upload to SharePoint. Manually Save an email message to SharePoint Process One question I’ve been asked countless times is the native integration options of Outlook/Exchange and SharePoint in order to save or transfer email and have it stored in SharePoint.īefore I jump into the different integration options available it is important to consider that once you’ve got the email in SharePoint how easy is it to get access to? and have we lost any information in the process? Let’s face it, if we can get the email into SharePoint but can’t access it again easily what have we achieved? Each of the methods I’ll discuss have implications on how easy is it to access the saved email and how much of the email (including it’s attributes) can be accessed after it has been transferred to SharePoint.
