Change to Team's Channel "Email Messages" folder naming convention.
When you directly email a Teams Channel you'll find those email in the File tab of that channel in a system generated folder called "Email Messages", which was great. However, as of yesterday, if you...
- I'd definitely contact support first and complain about the change.
However, in the meantime, e-mails come into the folders as eml files, you should be able to just create a flow that triggers on files coming into the library regardless of folder then "Create a copy" into the e-mail folder so it triggers your existing flows, then deletes the file after. Moving might work depending on the trigger of existing flows, but I would look into something like that to just pick them up and move them for you in the meantime.
We do not have Flows on out Folders but this will make the sharepoint folder in channels very anoying to use in a few months / years as you will not find the manuel created folders in this mess of automatically genereated folders.
I understand the performance problem, but why not make a folder strukture with subfolders like:
EmailMessages
- 2021_02
- 2021_03
....
Maybe the even the flows could find the folders better?
Now you will get eventueally hundreds of folders in the main structure for the cannel and the folders are not even sorted be year but by month instead.
EmailMessages_1_2021
EmailMessages_10_2021
EmailMessages_11_2021
EmailMessages_12_2021
EmailMessages_1_2022
EmailMessages_2_2021
EmailMessages_2_2022
EmailMessages_3_2021
EmailMessages_3_2022

ManualCreatedFolder2
Some manuel created folders will be bevore und most after the automatically created folders
the only way to find these Folders Quickly will be to add some sorting characters in front wich i find very annoying.
