Saving email headers in SharePoint and Teams columns

When uploading email messages to SharePoint or Teams, the email headers (From, To, CC, Subject, Date, etc.) can be automatically mapped to SharePoint columns.

Automatic saving of email header in columns:

At the first time emails are saved to a Teams location, harmon.ie suggests creating an Email view in that location. If accepted, from now on, the following email headers will be saved in corresponding email columns:

• Name (email file name)
• Attachments (does the email contain attachments)
• To
• From
• Date
• Conversation Topic (the original email subject of the conversation)
• Subject

An Email view is created and can be displayed within SharePoint, Teams, and harmon.ie.

To extend this mapping to SharePoint locations, or disable the mapping, set the create email view with metadata columns option.

Notes:

• This feature does not require administration interference.
• For more information, please read Save email headers in SharePoint.

Configure customized saving of email headers in columns:

You can configure harmon.ie to save even more email headers in SharePoint or Teams locations. To enable this mapping, the SharePoint document library needs to be set up with email specific columns. To learn how to do this, read the knowledge base article Save email headers in SharePoint.

Note: When uploading an email message with attachments to a library with column validation (in SharePoint 2010 or later), and simultaneously replacing attachments with links, the email headers are not persisted as SharePoint document properties.

The mapping between email headers and SharePoint fields is configurable from the mapping table in harmon.ie Options.
