Requirement: I want to access and modify all the options given in Incoming Email setting page of Document Library programmatically.
Here is the code of a Web Part for the same:
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages;
namespace WPDocLibEmailSetting
{
[Guid("b5ddfbff-afbb-42bb-b4ea-3e3788ad0297")]
public class WPDocLibEmailSetting : System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart
TextBox myText;
Button myBtn;
public WPDocLibEmailSetting()
}
protected override void CreateChildControls()
base.CreateChildControls();
myText = new TextBox();
myBtn = new Button();
myBtn.Text = "Submit";
myBtn.Click += new EventHandler(myBtn_Click);
this.Controls.Add(myText);
this.Controls.Add(myBtn);
void myBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
SPWeb site = SPContext.Current.Web;
Guid newListGuid = site.Lists.Add(myText.Text, myText.Text, SPListTemplateType.DocumentLibrary);
SPList newList = site.Lists[newListGuid];
newList.ContentTypesEnabled = true;
newList.OnQuickLaunch = true;
newList.EnableAssignToEmail = true;
newList.EmailAlias = myText.Text;
newList.Update();
newList.RootFolder.Properties["vti_emailattachmentfolders"] = "sender";
//Group attachments in folders, options: "subject"/"sender"/"root"
newList.RootFolder.Properties["vti_emailoverwrite"] = 0;
//Overwrite files with the same name, options 1/0
newList.RootFolder.Properties["vti_emailsaveoriginal"] = 1;
//Save original e-mail, options 1/0
newList.RootFolder.Properties["vti_emailsavemeetings"] = 0;
//Save meeting invitations, options 1/0
newList.RootFolder.Properties["vti_emailusesecurity"] = 1;
//Email Security Policy, options 1/0
newList.RootFolder.Update();
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
//base.Render(writer);
EnsureChildControls();
myText.RenderControl(writer);
myBtn.RenderControl(writer);

A call to Update is resulting in a very opaque error being thrown:
Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Error in the application.
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPList.UpdateDirectoryManagementService(String oldAlias, String newAlias)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPList.Update(Boolean bFromMigration)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPList.Update()
Any thoughts?
Write-Host "Enabling Email Archiving";
$DiscussionsList = $ClientWeb.Lists["Discussions"];
$DiscussionsList.EmailAlias = $LowerDomainNameWithoutSuffix + "-archive";
$DiscussionsList.ContentTypesEnabled = $true;
$DiscussionsList.Update();
$RootFolder = $DiscussionsList.RootFolder;
$RootFolder.Properties["vti_emailsaveattachments"] = 1;
$RootFolder.Properties["vti_emailsavemeetings"] = 0;
$RootFolder.Properties["vti_emailsaveoriginal"] = 0;
$RootFolder.Properties["vti_emailusesecurity"] = 0;
$RootFolder.Update();
I have the same problem. Whenever I try to set the EmailAlias property and then to update() the list, the update failes and results with the following exception:
Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Error in the Application.
I'm using the same code as the above:
newList.EmailAlias = "test";
Does anyone have an idea what is the reason for this?
Thanks.
I had the same problem (Application Error). It turned out that I was using the administrator account to launch my script and this account had not the appropriate rights on the portal.
Once I opened my power shell console with an account authorized on the portal, the script worked.
Which are those "appropiate rights on the portal"?
Thanks in advance!

Pretty good article. I found it really helpful. I would like to add a little comment:
1 means "Accept emails based on permissions"
0 means "Accept emails from any sender"
Thank very much man.

Thank you for this post! I have been trying to figure this out for hours.
I am astonished that they didn't create methods for this. Seems like any setting that you can set through the UI should be easy to set through the API.
Hi,
Can anyone please tell me the property to enable publishing the incoming email programmatically?
