Out of service from 10/01/2022

Due to mayor infrastructural issues with Microsoft, this product is out of service.

Here you will find all necessary information to install, configure and operate our product / service.

You need the following components for operating our solution:

Any mailbox at any email provider
- Non-Exchange-based mailboxes at any provider are also supported
- The email server must support forwarding of emails to a given personalized email address
SharePoint-Online Site
- You need a SharePoint Online site, where you can install our product as an SharePoint app
- Alternatively you can also use a site on an on-premise SharePoint server that is accessible from the Internet and is configured correctly for the use of Low-Trust-Apps
- To install the app you need admin permissions on this site
- To configure the incoming email settings, you need at least permissions to manage lists in this site

Install the SharePoint app from the Micrsoft App-Store (requires admin permissions on the SharePoint site)

Go to the app and register as a new user / tenant
Then you will see the E-Mail Services homepage with descriptions of the different products / services

Copy your personal forwarding email address
Configure your email inbox, so that all incoming emails are forwarded to this personal email address (e.g. Exchange Online mailbox )

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)

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.

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.

Use the button "Save" to save your configuration, "Cancel" will discard your changes.
