Description: Sharing
My boss made a request. He asked if there was a way for him to copy\sync an email folder in his Outlook desktop app to a SharePoint Online site. Of course he needed this solution quickly. I said there are some ways to accomplish this, but since you need it quickly, then an out-of-box solution would be the best. I told him I would look at the SharePoint Online site and get back to him.
We still have a lot of classic SharePoint Online (SPO) sites and a much smaller number of Modern SharePoint Online Team sites. When I looked at the SPO site (I’ll refer to the site as Site 1) my boss wanted to copy\sync emails to, it was a classic SPO site. This meant it isn’t using an Office 365 group, so using a Site Mailbox was out of the question.
I could create a Microsoft Flow, but given I needed something quick, I thought I would do a Google search and see what others where doing. I found some where using SharePoint Discussions List. So, I thought I would see about setting it up and testing it. Turns out, it was pretty easy to setup and use.
