Sometimes you find these things in SharePoint that make your life easier. Incoming e-mail is such a feature. We configured it in our intranet yesterday and it works great! Sending invitations to event calendars, creating announcements, discussion, it is all done by just sending an e-mail.
The real wow was when I created an email address for the blog on my MySite. I sent an e-mail with some images in it to my blog. SharePoint added the images as attachement to the post item and updated the links in the text, so my mail changed into a blogpost without doing something special. That’s what I call “working easier”!
(working easier is the ‘mission’ of the company I work for)
