Why use Email Manager instead of the standard email preview in SharePoint / Teams?

Email Manager offers several advantages over the standard SharePoint / Teams preview:

  • Fast
    Email Manager typically shows an email in 1 s whereas it may take several seconds using the standard viewer.
  • View attachments
    Email Manager allows users to view email attachments (docx, xlsx, pdf, jpg, msg, zip,...) directly in the browser.
    This improves user productivity and reduce security/compliance risk by keeping content in the cloud.
  • Support for emails with msg attachments
    Email Manager support viewing of msg attachments (and their attachments) directly in the browser.
  • Extract email metadata during uploading
    This requires a one-off configuration and is fully transparent for end-users.
  • Tagging emails
    Emails of interest can be tagged for future processing (move to other location, add metadata, ...) during viewing.
  • Date/time in local time zone
    Email Manager shows sent and received dates in the local time zone (unlike the standard preview which uses UTC).
  • Date/time shown in local format (e.g. dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy)
  • Quick navigation
    Optimised for handling large number of emails by offering previous/next buttons and the option to jump to a specific email.
  • Preview emails that are not rendered by the standard SharePoint viewer.
  • Attach SharePoint / Teams document(s) to a new email.
