I've been tasked to automate a process that is currently somewhat convoluted. Documents are sent in via e-mail and make their way to a public folder (with sub folders) in Exchange. Since public folders are going away, this is one thing that I have to address, but that's another issue. Suffice to say, we will have information in some place in Exchange (probably a designated mailbox) that we'd like to somehow route this information elsewhere (a more appropriate store for archival of documents). So I'm wondering if there is some kind of tool that could be used for automating the process of pulling stuff from this designated mailbox, over to somewhere in Sharepoint. Since I know very little about Sharepoint and its capabilities, forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere or if it's an often covered subject. I'd just like to find out capabilities and then track down the how- to. Once we get these items over to Sharepoint, we're hoping to have these in some manner that a "supervisor" or admin of some sort, can assign these documents into some sort of work queue for people to process, and then they would flag these items as completed. My understanding is that these documents would then remain in Sharepoint for future use (several years possibly).
There are a few good tools for extracting from Exchange and Importing into Sharepoint over on http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/workspace.aspx?id=6996fb17-2a54-4607-983b-35c7697baa53 these should do the job.
