Alfresco 3 Business Solutions: Types of E-mail Integration

[ Thanks to Ramsai for this link. ]

"The long-term vision for most ECM systems is to be able to handle almost any kind of content, and for many organizations e-mails are often next in line to manage after content such as documents, images, web content, and records. Alfresco can be used as an e-mail management solution and we will discuss what the difference is between that and an e-mail archiving solution.

"In this article by Martin Bergljung, we will look at the advantages and disadvantages between three different e-mail integration solutions and also learn how to use Alfresco's built in IMAP solution to:

* Enable dragging-and-dropping of e-mails into the Alfresco repository
* Enable e-mail attachment extraction
* Enable viewing of document metadata from the e-mail client
* Set up different folder mount points
* Enable e-mail management in an Alfresco Share site"
