Save emails in bulk

DMS and DMS Pro supports efficient bulk saving of emails via drag and drop, allowing you to select multiple emails in your inbox and drag them to a selected location in your SharePoint document store.

This process will automatically capture and save important metadata from each individual email without prompting the user to enter additional information, unless requested by your organisation.

Choose how your attachments are saved (single emails only)

DMS and DMS Pro also offer flexibility with how you choose to save single emails that contain attachments. 

By default, emails and their attachments will be saved together in an .msg or .eml file, capturing the email in the exact format as it was sent. If you wish to split attachments from its email when saving via drag and drop to SharePoint, you can enable a setting in the MacroView Options menu.
