Drag and drop outlook emails into attachment form

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 27

Hi all,

 

I have previously commented on an existing post but as it's marked as 'Solved' I thought I would submit it as a new post to get more exposure. 

 

I am trying to drag and drop emails from outlook into an attachment form which I am going to upload to SharePoint.

 

If I drag an email from Outlook (desktop) to the PowerApps attachment control, 1 of 2 things will happen...

  1. the email will appear in the attachment box with .msg extension or
  2. nothing happens. 

I am currently looking into what could be causing it not to accept all emails, but so far there doesn't seem to be a reason that I can see. 

 

Interestingly, the emails that do not attach when I drag and drop them, will attach if I also select an email that does attach. 

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be causing some to attach but not others?

 

Thanks in Advance 
Ben
