Does Email Manager work with Microsoft’s RMS (Rights Management Server)?

Yes.  Encrypted email can be uploaded to SharePoint, and metadata will be extracted correctly.  The RMS data remains embedded in the email, and if another user opens the email from SharePoint, the RMS protection remains in place.

How do I open, reply to, or forward an email in Sharepoint without needing to save it to another location?

The option to open an email from a SharePoint location (and then be able to reply to or forward the email) is determined by your Browser File Handling settings in SharePoint.

To change this setting in SharePoint:

  1. In SharePoint Central Administration, navigate to: Application Management > Manage Web Applications > [Web Application] > General Settings.
  2. In the Browser File Handling section, choose Permissive. Users now have the option to open a file as well as save it.

How does Colligo Email Manager detect when the same email is filed to the same folder location in SharePoint?

When an email is filed to a SharePoint location, Colligo Email Manager creates a file name for the email based on the following email properties: sender name, sent date, sent time, and subject. The same email can be filed to two different folder locations in SharePoint, but if a file exists with the same file name, a prompt displays informing the user that the email already exists in that location. The user can overwrite the existing file, or cancel the upload.

Which installer package do I need for Email Manager?

For Email Manager, the installer package you need is dependent on your Operating System. Simply choose the download that corresponds to either 32-bit or 64-bit Windows.

Are there any conflicts with any Outlook plug-ins for CRM?

What happens if several people receive the same email and then multiple people upload the email to SharePoint?

Colligo Email Manager will prompt the user, giving them an option to override the item or not. They can rename the item if they are not sure.

Is the file name of the .msg configurable in Colligo Email Manager? For example, is it possible to include the longer global id inside the .msg file?

The default format is:

{0} = Sender
