Re: Adding Sharepoint folders to Outlook 2003

I tried doing this and got it set up but then when I moved a message to this
"folder", it disappeared. When I go to the folder (and therefore the document
library), I can find my document (Outlook Message). Any suggestions?

One way to do this is to create a new folder in Outlook and then change its
Properties so that it displays the page containing the WSS library in a
preset view.
1. Add Folder
2. Right click, select properties
3. Select Home Page,
4. check Show home page by default
5. enter Address to library. If you have created a Library with a View by
Type that is filtered for .msg files, you can use the URL for this view to
easily filter out other documents
6. Click OK
The users will now have one click access to the document library.

Dean, thanks for the tip. This solves the problem of getting Outlook
messages into Sharepoint. The other half of the problem is that the Legal
dept wants to be able to access these messages without bringing up the
Sharepoint app. They want to see the messages they have saved to
Sharepoint
while still in the Outlook app. Is this possible?

What you want to do is possible. My Places is hidden under the Tools menu
item when you are in the Save dialog box. Here are the complete
instructions
that I send to my users.

If you want to save a mail message to a SharePoint Document Library, do
the
following:
1. Select the message in Outlook

2. Click File,Save as

3. In the File Name box, type http://projects/sites/sitename or
http://projects.yourcompany.com/sites/sitename. (you may need to change
this)

4. Click Save. A message box will come up as Outlook attempts to connect
to
the site and then a listing of the Document Libraries and Picture
Libraries
on the site will be displayed

NOW Comes the Best Part

5. Click Tools, Add to My Place (this provides a shortcut to the site and
eliminates the need to do the above every time)

6. Click on the Document Library where you want to store the file (be
careful that you don't select a Picture Library)

7. Type in a File Name

8. Change the File Type to Outlook Message format (.msg) (this will allow
the message to be reopened in its orginal format, including attachments,
when clicked on in the SharePoint Library)

9. Click Save

2nd Best Part

The shortcut added to the My Places bar is visible in all of the Office
Applications so saving from Word and Excel just got easier

A caveat-

You can not save multiple messages at once in the Outlook message format.
Multiple messages get saved as text format, which is ok if they do not
have
attachments, but if they do the attachments are lost

My Places Tip

If you have lots of shortcuts in the My Places bar, you can see more of
them
by Right clicking in the bar and selecting small icons

Dean,

I don't see My Places anywhere in Outlook 2003. I tried adding the
document
library URL as a shortcut within Outlook which worked but did not solve
my
problem.

Our legal dept needs to be able to move data from Outlook into a more
secure
Sharepoint site accessible only by the legal team. This can be done by
selecting the Explorer View within the document library and then drag
and
drop Outlook messages into the library. However, they want to be able
to
accomplish the same thing within the Outlook interface without using
the
SP
interface. Is that possible?

can add a Network Place to the My Places bar in Outlook that points to

With WSS 2.0 is there a way to link a document library to Outlook
2003
as
a
Sharepoint folder? I know you can link a Sharepoint calendar to
Outlook.
Please advise.
