Enabling incoming email in SharePoint Online
- Step 1: Create a shared mailbox in Office 365. First, you’ll need to spin up a new mailbox and tie it to a SharePoint document library.
- Step 2: Select a Flow.
- Step 3: Configure the mailbox side of the Flow.
- Step 4: Configure the SharePoint piece of the Flow.
Locate the SharePoint, Teams, or OneDrive location in the All Locations view in the harmon.ie sidebar. Select the email message and drag it from the Inbox, or any other folder, to the selected location in the sidebar. This instantly uploads the message to SharePoint, Teams, or OneDrive.
Can you send an email from a SharePoint site?

With SharePoint and OneDrive links, the recipient does not need to have the latest version of MS Office installed on the machine.

Also, if you need to place documents into multiple document libraries, you will need to create a separate e-mail address for each library.
