Possible to drag and drop e-mails to SharePoint list in Outlook?
When connecting Outlook and a SharePoint document library is it possible to add e-mails from Outlook to the library inside Outlook using drag and drop or some other method? if some sort of addon is needed I'd prefer a really, really simple solution; ie. not a suite of Outlook-SharePoint integration features.

Your question is not clear. You are connecting a SharePoint list to Outlook and you want to store E-Mails in that SharePoint list and exchange them via Drag and Drop?

That is correct, if you by "exchange" mean 'put them there' so to speak.

You can configure SharePoint to receive E-mails, the only easy way would be to forward all your e-mails to that dedicated sharepoint e-mail or I could think of one easy solution: Use the SharePoint webdav feature ("Explorer View"). You could map the network location to a network drive and just drag and drop Outlook items into that folder. SharePoint will display the messages and Outlook will most probably open them from there.
A "drag-and-drop" solution to get just some email's to Sharepoint would need to be custom coded. Think about the implications:
- The mails need to be converted to some web-friendly format (i.e. including sender information etc.)
- The e-mail needs to be stored in SharePoint
- The attachments will need to be stored somewhere else in SharePoint
- The e-mail needs to reference the attachments in some way
If you're into third party solutions, there are some good ones available:
- SharePoint Outlook integration
"allows an easy 'drag and drop' action
to copy or move specific emails to
document libraries"
- Colligo Contributor
"The Outlook Add-in provides a
convenient way to synchronize
SharePoint document libraries
(including sub-folders) with Outlook
folders. Users can easily copy or move
documents, emails, and attachments
between Outlook and SharePoint -
either manually with a simple
drag-and-drop or automatically using
Outlook rules. "

Should have sorted them differently - Colligo is a "known name" so I would go with them if I had to choose. Also try to use Explorer View once and move some E-Mails to a document library of your choice - maybe it even works this simple way.

Your question is not clear. You are connecting a SharePoint list to Outlook and you want to store E-Mails in that SharePoint list and exchange them via Drag and Drop?

That is correct, if you by "exchange" mean 'put them there' so to speak.
