Configuration of mailbox forwarding

Configuration of the target SharePoint list
Select the SharePoint list in which the incoming emails should be stored (the SharePoint site is set to the installation url of the app and can not be changed)
Configuration of field mappings
Under "Edit Field Mappings" you can specify which columns are to be filled in the SharePoint list. You can select an email message field and specify the corresponding SharePoint column. Please keep in mind that only certain assignments are meaningful, e.g. you can only assign email message fields, that contain a date, to SharePoint columns of type "Date/Time".
If you change the column configuration of the SharePoint list, please remember to adjust the field mappings, since otherwise incoming emails can not be processed correctly.
Configuration of additional options
By activating the option "Transfer attachments only" you can configure our service to save only the attachment of the incoming email.
By activating the option "Overwrite attachments" you can configure our service to overwrite existing elements within the target document library. The service uses file name and file expression to check for duplicates. If this option is not active, files, which would have been overwritten, will be numbered with (n) at the end of the file name.
By activating the option "Group attachments and emails in folders" you can configure our service to group attachments within folders in the target document library. You will have to choose a second option to configure the specified folder names. You may choose between "Subject" and "Sender name". If the option "Transfer attachments only" is active supplementary, only attachments of the incoming email will be stored.
