- This is now possible using the Outlook Desktop and modern browsers - take a look: https://jonasbjerke.wordpress.com/2019/09/06/you-can-now-drag-e-mails-from-outlook-directly-to-sharepoint/
I came across you post, and since it’s from 2019 you may already have solved your issue.

Not suggesting this is a full answer by any means but it may be useful to some people.
