E-mail messages and attachments can easily be saved from Outlook directly to M-Files. The following M-Files functions are available in Microsoft Outlook 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016.
Outlook offers the following save options for Save to M-Files:
E-mail messages can be saved to M-Files in many formats.

The e-mail message and any attachments are stored in M-Files in MSG format. The stored file and its attachments open as a message in Outlook.
Outlook message; separate attachments (*.msg; *.*)
The e-mail message is stored as a multi-file document: message text is stored in MSG format and the attachments in their native file formats. The stored MSG file opens as a message in Outlook. The attachments open in the applications associated with the file format.

Save Attachments to M-Files
The Save Attachments to M-Files function stores only e-mail attachments. The attachments are stored in their native file formats.

The attachments open in the applications associated with the file format.
