Email folders vs. regular folders
When moving e-mails from Outlook into GCdocs, you may save them in any container. By default, most will use regular folders.
The problem with regular folders is that you lose the ability to see the e-mail metadata like "Date Sent," "To:", "From:" etc. E-Mail Folders, on the other hand, will display all of your e-mail metadata in the display view.
- Navigate to the location where you want to add the email folder
- Select Add Item
- Select E-mail Folder from the drop down menu
- Complete the Name and Description fields
- Select Add
Note: If you have e-mails already contained in a regular folder, you can move them into the E-mail Folder and have all the original Outlook metadata display correctly in GCdocs.
