I’ve uploaded my presentation and recordings from my presentation at last week’s Sydney SharePoint User group – “E-mailing MOSS”. We had a great turnout and some great questions too, and an active interest on how to integrate e-mails into MOSS. We demonstrated all the out-of-the-box e-mail/Outlook integration features and then extended the demonstration to include Exchange 2007 managed folders and the latest Colligo Pro client, including Outlook add-in. Feel free to post any follow-up questions via the Contact form on my blog.
