Drag and Drop MS Outlookk Emails into a SharePoint Library

If you need to manually store emails in a MOSS or WSS library, you can drag and Drop items from your MS Outlook. Just open the document library with Windows Explorer from the Actions tab. Once opened, you can drag and drop into it Windows items (files) as well as MS Outlook emails. The emails are stored as MSG type files.


If you try dragging Outlook Express items (EML type) you will get an error message.

An alternate way is to define the library to support imcoming mails (there are many articles on teh subject). This enable storing EML files but in order to open them you first need to save the file in your hard drive.
