Mail Manager supports the filing and searching of messages located in SharePoint Online without the need to use locally sync'd folders.

 


Prerequisites:

SharePoint Online
Microsoft 365 work or school account

 


Automatic discovery of SharePoint locations

Due to how the hierarchy of SharePoint can be setup, specialist configuration is required. Contact: support@mailmanager.com for more information.

Also see Discovered collections and locations

 

Notes:

1.This option is only available for subscription licence users.
2.When new locations are added in SharePoint it can take up to 24 hours before it is discoverable, but is usually much less. This a limitation of SharePoint

 


How to manually add a SharePoint location:

1.Open the Add Location window via:
File message window
Locations tool
 
The Add Location window will appear:
 

 
2.Select the type of location to be added i.e. SharePoint
3.Select a SharePoint document library or sub-folder e.g.
i.Select the Browse button to navigate to the required document library or sub-folder
or
ii.Using a web browser, navigate to your SharePoint folder and copy its full path from the address bar to the clipboard e.g.
https://mailmanager.sharepoint.com/sites/ProjectSites/Projects/131472/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx
Then paste the path into the Location text field
4.Add an appropriate description
5.Select a Collection to which the location will be added to
6.If required change the Usage. The default is File and Search. If the Search option is selected the location won't appear when filing.
7.Select OK
8.Exit and save the changes when prompted

 

Up to 30 minutes later you will be able to search items that have been filed into your SharePoint filing locations.

 


Note:

SharePoint locations associated with collection files are not verified like they are for local and network folders, therefore the locations status column will be empty.
Locations are discovered soon after starting Outlook and then once an hour
