SharePoint Online Incoming E-Mail Settings

Marius Smith - we have a cool app developed to get the Incoming Email experience in SharePoint Online libraries and OneDrive for Business. The app name is "https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/office/WA200001647?tab=Overview". You can get this app either from the Microsoft App Source or directly from your SharePoint Online site using SharePoint Store. This gives you the same experience as the on-prem Incoming email functionality. In fact, much more than that. You can try this tool for Free for 30-days.

Let me know if any question.

Thanks,

Ashish

Here is how I do it:

1. Create Shared Mailbox in Exchange.
2. Create Rules/Filters in OWA/Outlook so an email goes into a folder when received, like with attachment with whatever in the subject line.
3. On your SharePoint Online Site directory, create a Flow. It will fetch the attachment in the filtered folder you created in Outlook, and put it in the directory in SharePoint as you desire.

Sounds easy, it is!...But it does take some work, I admit...a lot of parts to connect. Once I did it, I can do it my sleep now. But what a mess. You need Full Rights to the Exchange Shared Mailbox, a Flow license, and be an Owner in your SharePoint directory.

We are starting to use Microsoft teams and I think this feature is now answering your need.

Next to your channel, there is a small menu. One item in there is called "Get email address". You can simply forward your email to this address and it will post in the channel conversation.

In addition to that, it will create a folder in your "Files" tab called "Email Messages" in which it will store the .eml file as well as the attachments.

We eventually used a service called Parserr to solve this problem (https://parserr.com). Cannot believe Microsoft havent addressed this yet.

They are able to parse incoming emails, extract the body, cc, to etc as well as attachments and then push it up to SharePoint Online for us. 

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.
