Email enable SharePoint list/Library

Users in SharePoint 2010 can enable the lists to recieve emails and update list items accordingly. This is a very good feature where you can easily pick up mails and track them in SharePoint.

For example, if you have a team that supports a system and you want to make sure that users can email your group, instead of setting a common DL or mailbox, you can now direct mails to your list. Your team can now look at the issue and update the list item. If some other team member wants to check the issue, he/she simply needs check the SharePoint list to get the current status.

Such lists are much better to monitor and report. Given below are the steps to enable your lists incoming email settings:


Once you have enabled incoming emails, test the setting by sending email to the mail ID(in this case TestUser@Intranet.com).

Please note that this is not a real email address, hence it might not be accessible from outside your network.
