Incoming e-mail settings not visible.
Is there a way to enable "Incoming e-mail settings" in SharePoint Online? I basically want to create a calculated column using some email columns, but currently don't see any of those email columns ...
- Jun 05, 2023I think that incoming emails for a document library are no longer available in SharePoint Online.
But you can have the same effect using a flow

OOTB this is not possible and for SharePoint Online there are only indirect methods.
a. Via shared mailbox in Office 365 combined with a Power Automate flow (as Sven proposed)
b. Use Teams
This allows sending emails to an email address associated with one the Teams' channels. The emails are stored in a separate folder (per month) in eml format and the attachments are automatically saved as separate files. Note: this will not capture email metadata such as sent date into SharePoint columns.
c. Use 3rd party apps (see https://collab365.com/10-best-sharepoint-email-management-software/)
Some of these apps are browser-based and automatically extract the email metadata (Subject, sent date, ...) when emails are uploaded.
