SharePoint Online Incoming E-Mail Settings

Hi Marius Smith
You could use groups and email the conversations email address:
then the save to group library is available.
Of course it would be better if this could be done by default but as far as I know this option doesn't exist yet. Maybe a uservoice to get this option added would be useful.

Take a look also at Flow possibilities since you can trigger a Flow when an e-mail is received in your inbox and do something on a SPO document library. As an example: https://beyond-sharepoint.github.io/o365/walkthrough/2016/08/01/creating-an-email-enabled-list-in-O365-and-microsoft-flow.html

Great - Thanks Juan, we will try that - seems like an alternative to be considered in new setup and design.
Only issue then is, (as I understand it) creating new teams will Auto-generate separate Site-collections and it would thus only be possible to set this up in a new area and not within an already created Site-collection logical/functional existing substructure...
Any ideas around this?
