“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”
