The only way I have found to retain attachments with an email from Outlook to SharePoint is to do a save as .msg and drag and drop into the SharePoint library.
I would like to set the library to receive email and retain the attachment as part of the email. I don't want the attachments to separate from the email when they arrive in the library.
Is there an add-in to Outlook or a fix in SharePoint 2010??????
You have two options:
1. Stick with the SharePoint options like adding attachments to the library or to a sub folder of the library based on subject or sender.
2. Write a custom email event handler. Here is an example for 2007, but it should work in 2010 as well: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/malag/archive/2009/05/13/attachments-disappear-with-custom-email-event-handler.aspx

Marco, when I created the EventHandler to try and retain the message and attachment when activated it still came through as it was before by separating the message and attachment in two different files
Yes there are add-ins. I have used some 3rd Party tools for Outlook and SharePoint:
Scinaptic's OnePlaceMail
Colligo
Macroview
They are all good.

I have couple of doubts regarding Outlook addIns.
I created a ribbon for Outlook application using VSTO.
While sending the mail i call some API and make some db entries.
I keep the mail in inbox even after i sent the mail.
Now i need an option to change the color of that message subject (like indication this is already send. eg : unread mail subject is in bold )
Is there any way that i can achieve this ?
The ribbon i created is showing under Add-ins menu.
i wated to show this in Home itself.
I tried tab idMso="TabHome", TabMail etc but its not working (i am using office 2010)
You would need to modify the view setting based on some condition - look at an existing Outlook views that bold the unread messages and display overdue messages in red.
I'm looking for a programmatic way (eg: using VBA) to write the Subject texts of emails which are open, or otherwise export opened emails to a file system folder.
Trap the Application.Inspectors.NewInspector event an read the Inspector.CurrenmtItem.Subject property. Reading pane needs to be handled separately.
I want to write a add-in to backup email and attacked file to One Drive for Business server.
But when i try drag and drop email from Outlook Web Application to my add-in, the mouse show not support.
Any idea for me?
I try drag and drop email to attacked file when create new mail or reply mail.
I try drag and drop email to my add-in, but not support.
Similar question lead me to this:

Unfortunately both the Mailbox API and the JavaScript for Office API do not have any methods or events that facilitate dragging and dropping items in Outlook Online or in the desktop Outlook clients.
I am a newbie to VB Scripting, what I have been trying to do is as soon as i receive a mail in Outlook from a particular sender or a particular message in the Subject line, I should copy the contents of the specified File location to other specified location
Is this feasible?
Yes, it can be implemented using VBA macros or creating an Outlook add-in. You can handle the NewMailEx event of the Application class where you can check out the Subject property and do whatever you need. See Getting Started with VBA in Outlook 2010 in MSDN for more information.
Working in a Windows Forms application and VB.NET.
I need to pop open an Office "New Message" window, populate the "To" address, and place an OFT template in the body of the message. I do not need to modify anything in the template.
To open the new message with the template, i could:
Diagnostics.Process.Start("MyFile.oft")
But this will not help with setting the TO address, or subject.
I also don't want to download any third party add-ons.
Any help??
You can use the Outlook Object Model and call Application.CreateItemFromTemplate. You can then set Subject/To/CC/BCC properties and the Recipients collection on the returned MailItem object.
