How to set up a SharePoint discussion board to receive e-mail?
\n<\/strong>
\nIf the participants belong to a SharePoint group that has an e-mail distribution list, a discussion board can be a part of the e-mail list. Then, when the participants send e-mail to members of the group, their discussions are automatically added to and archived in the discussion board on the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site.<\/p>\n

The following procedure enables an existing discussion board, such as the default Team Discussion board, to receive e-mail. You can also choose this setting when you create a new discussion board.<\/p>\n

1. If the discussion board is not already open, click its name on the Quick Launch<\/strong>.
\n2. To change the settings for this discussion board, on the Settings<\/strong> menu , click Discussion Board Settings<\/strong>.
\n3. Under Communications<\/strong>, click Incoming e-mail settings.<\/strong>
\n4. Under Enable<\/strong> this list to receive e-mail, click Yes<\/strong>.
\n5. In the E-mail address box, type a unique name to use as part of the e-mail address for the discussion board.
\n6. Choose any other settings that you want, such as whether messages sent in e-mail should keep their attachments (such as pictures or documents) or whether the original e-mail message should be saved in the discussion board as an attachment.
\n7. Click OK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If someone set up your SharePoint group to receive e-mail, your discussion board may already have its own e-mail address. If so, you should make a note of the address and then confirm with your site owner or administrator.
\n\u00a2 If you do not see Incoming e-mail settings, your site may not be set up so that lists can receive e-mail. For information, see your administrator.<\/strong><\/p>\n
