Sharepoint, public folders and Outlook
Hi
I'm trying to get my users away from Public folders and on to Sharepoint, and I manged to allow incoming emails to a test document library.
My question(s) is why are the attachments stored separately, why are the emails so difficult to read in the web browser (they open in the same window, only the body of the email comes up, everything else is blank screen) and when I connect the document library to Outlook (need this to sell it to the users!) the emails don't open seamlessly and are completely in text. (i have attached an example file)
Sorry, three questions there, I have trawled through as many Sharepoint resources as i can stand but i'm struggling to find out if this is by design or if there is something I can do about it.
Many thanks in advance

This solution is only available to members.

well mainly because Microsoft was going to stop the support of public folders but then decided not to at the last minute with the release of exchange 2007.
They will eventually be the replacement for public folders, it may be a little premature but there are many other advantages to having your content in sharepoint as opposed to public folders as well.

i tried to set up a new discussion board and then assign an email address, but now i get the following error:
The list was created successfully, but could not be assigned an e-mail alias because of the following error: Error in the application
I haven't changed a thing! what could cause this? the existing document library still works
Thanks

normally that error is due to the Delegated permissions in AD. But without more details I really can't say for sure

still getting this error message, i wish i had more details to offer. is there a log i can check?

I will give the discussion board a look, but I'm left feeling mildly disappointed. why are sharepoint libraries etc being touted as replacements for public folders if these issues exist?
