You can configure Microsoft Outlook to archive email in Alfresco, including archiving emails as links.
You can decide what format you want to use to save your emails, and how to archive your emails. In Email Archiving, take one or more of the following actions:
- Save the original Outlook MSG file in Alfresco with the original email
- Save attachments as separate files in Alfresco
- Save email as a link to the content in Alfresco
- Use default settings for archiving (where all emails are saved to the Alfresco server, based on the option selected in Default archive settings)
- Show settings when archiving (to select how each email will be archived)
- Compress the email message when uploading the content
You can reduce the size of your Outlook inbox by replacing emails with links to the content in Alfresco:
-
Select Configure > Email Archiving from the Alfresco Client tab in Microsoft Outlook.
-
Click Replace content with links and your preferred option in Email archive settings.
Replace content with links saves the email (as an EML file) in Alfresco and a link (without text and attachments) in Microsoft Outlook.
If you click the Download original email message link in an archived email, the original email is loaded from Alfresco and can be opened in Outlook.
Outlook emails are archived to the Alfresco server, and can be accessed using links in Microsoft Outlook.
