Saving Emails from Outllook into Sharepoint shared folders

[Presi Dente]

Hi All,
I'm having problems saving mail from outlook into a sharepoint shared
document folder using an Add-In. When i try this via the OutLook "SaveAs"
menu option, it works OK so I know it's not a question of permissions.
However running via the add-In, using the
MailItem.SaveAs("http://[Server]/sites/tgtsite/myFolder/mailname.msg",
OlSaveAsType.olMSGUnicode) method, I get an "operation failed" error. No
there are more details given on the error. I have no clue what's going wrong
here.
On another note, if anybody know how to get rid of the warning message box
that pops up saying "A program is trying to access data from Outlook ..."
when I call the "MailItem.SaveAs()" method?

About the "warning popup". Is "Redemption"
(http://www.outlookcode.com/threads.aspx?forumid=5&messageid=8039) the only
way to get around this? Am I the only one who sees this as awkward? Are
there any "security settings" (on the exchange server or something) that can
stop this message box?

Just a related question, is it possible to file emails from outlook directly
into Sharepoint 2003? i'd like to file some emails and have them routed to my
colleagues so that they could 'check' and confirm that they've read it.
currently it's a very manual paper process.

I did find out that if you are using Exchange, there is a pretty slick way to
do this.

You can tie a document library to a public folder in exchange (after you
configure the portal server to allow this)

When new eMail messages arrive in the folder, they are added to the doc
library

If you are working with attachments, you could just forward the message to
the public folder (which will add the file to the doc lib)

If you write an event handler for the doc lib that notifies the other users
of the addition to allow them to comment, etc... you could accomplish what
you are after I would think.
