reading emails from drop folder to board discussion
- hi, everybody,
can i write code to move the emails from the drop folder to the board discussion sharepoint ? because not all the incoming emails drop to the discussion sharepoint

- Hi,
If you have incoming mails enabled, and not all of the mails are processed /dropped into the target discussion list, then you should try to solve that on the infrastructure level first.
Then, if it does not work, you may disable the incoming mail feaure for the list, and create an SMPT event sink for the incoming mails and create the discussion list items from that code.
Finally, as a third option only in my opinion, you can create a custom service (or timer job) that picks up items from the drop folder and create discussion list items based on them.

- Hi, Peter
I'm sorry late to reply, u told me I can solve that on the infrastructure level first How I can do that ?
Fadwa - Hi Fadwa,
No problem. :-)
I wrote you should try to solve it on the infrastrucure level, that is not the same to you can solve it. About the how, it might be better to post a question on the Setup, Upgrade, Administration and Operation forum (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointadmin/threads), and then fall back here for option 2 and 3 if the guys there are not able to help you to get the solution.
Am I correct if I understand your original mail as you incoming mail-enabled your discussion list, but only a part of the mails sent to the list are received correctly?

ok, I will creating for that but I create class library of the SPEmailEventReceiver , but how i can deply it on the board discussion , can u help me ?
- Hi,
You can register that kind of event sink as you do in case of other event receiver types, either from feature, from code or using tools (see samples here: http://sharepointadminwiki.com/display/public/Event+Receivers). For tools I usually suggest using Patrick Tisseghem's Event Handler Explorer (http://www.u2u.info/SharePoint/U2U%20Community%20Tools/EventHandlerExplorer.zip).
SPEmailEventReceiver can be another alternative, but when I wrote SMTP event sink I really ment a very different layer of the architecture. It means capturing and procressing the mail on the SMTP service level, before the mail is handled to the WSS mail processing pipe.
Unfortunately, I found only samples for Exchange only, but one can create similar type of handlers without Exchange, using only the standard SMTP services:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894286
How to register a transport event sink for the SMTP Service in Exchange 2000 Server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313404
A few years ago I wrote an article about that for ASPToday (Wrox) that was published later as a PDF by Apress:
