Which columns do I need to capture the email metadata fields?

1. Create the following columns (e.g. site columns) to capture the email metadata. You can choose your own column names. Alternatively, use columns that have already been defined on your system.

Property	Type
To	Single line of text
To Address	Single line of text
From	Single line of text
From Address	Single line of text
Cc	Single line of text
Cc Address	Single line of text
Bcc	Single line of text
Bcc Address	Single line of text
Subject	Single line of text
Send Date	Date and Time
Received Date	Date and Time
Attachment	Yes/No
Conversation	Single line of text
Email Categories	Single line of text

2. Create a new Content Type and add the columns. Alternatively, use an existing Content Type.

3. Add the Content Type to your Document Library, Picture Library or Asset Library.

4. Download the properties.txt file from SharePoint (same location as the tool itself).

5. Modify the email section in the properties.txt file by entering the internal SharePoint column names.
For example,
# msg metadata
EMAIL,From,EMAIL_x003A_From
EMAIL,FromAddress,EMAIL_x003A_FromAddress
...
EMAIL,Categories,EMAIL_x003A_Categories
NB: the internal column names are often different from the visible column names. Use the tool's "Settings" menu and then expand the "List details" to list the internal column names.

6. Upload the modified properties.txt

7. Close and open the tool
