FileMy.Email add-in showing client folder selection inside Outlook

Busy season makes the email problem worse

Tax season alone produces a year's worth of email volume in four months. Every client sends W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, brokerage statements, "one quick question" replies, and corrections. The official process is to file all of it to the client folder. The actual process:

  • Staff download attachments to the desktop, rename them, then upload to SharePoint
  • Sent emails — confirmations, tax return PDFs, e-file acknowledgments — never make it to the client folder
  • Document portal isn't used for ad-hoc client sends, so half the docs never enter the system
  • By April 16, the partner can't find the email where the client confirmed the home office deduction
  • Next year's preparer starts from scratch because last year's correspondence is buried

This add-in turns email filing into a one-click step inside Outlook. Smart suggestions learn each client's folder. Save on Send catches outgoing mail automatically. Attachment names follow your firm's convention every time.

Why accounting firms use this

Filed by client and year

Browse any SharePoint structure — Client › Year › Tax Return is the typical layout. After one save, the add-in suggests the same folder for that client's future mail.

Save on Send for outgoing

The completed return sent to the client, the e-file confirmation, the engagement letter — all file themselves to the client folder the second you hit Send.

Consistent file names

Naming templates produce predictable file names firm-wide. "2026 - Acme Corp - W-9.pdf" instead of "scan_001.pdf" — searchable in SharePoint years later.

Metadata for retention

Map SharePoint columns to email fields — Client ID, Engagement Year, Document Type — and they're populated automatically. Useful for retention policies and SOC reviews.

Seasonal staff scaling

$10/month for 3 users, $3 per additional user, monthly billing, no annual commitment. Add busy-season staff in January and remove them in May without contract gymnastics.

Confidentiality preserved

Files go directly from Outlook to your SharePoint. We never read, store, or proxy email content — relevant for AICPA confidentiality and IRS Section 7216 obligations.

What this looks like during busy season

Client sends W-2s

Email arrives with attachments. Add-in suggests the client's tax-year folder. One click — email and attachments file with names like "2026 - John Smith - W-2 Acme Corp.pdf". Preparer never leaves Outlook.

Tax return delivery

Partner sends the completed return PDF to the client. Save on Send is on. The outgoing email and attachment land in the client's tax-year folder automatically — the firm has a record of what was delivered, when, and to whom.

Backlog filing

Admin runs Inbox Cleanup against a shared mailbox or a partner's inbox. Suggested destinations preview side-by-side. Hundreds of emails file in one pass instead of one drag at a time.

Auto-archive over weekends

Partner is offline Saturday. Auto-Archive is on for known clients. Documents that arrive over the weekend file themselves to the right folders by Monday morning — only senders the partner already mapped, never new ones.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work alongside our document portal?

Yes. Document portals (SmartVault, Canopy, ShareFile) handle client-facing document exchange. They don't solve the everyday email that piles up in Outlook. This add-in routes that email and the one-off PDFs into SharePoint without retraining clients to use the portal for every send.

Can I file by client and engagement year?

Yes. The add-in browses any SharePoint folder structure. Client / Year / Engagement is a common layout. Save once, and the add-in suggests it for that client's future mail.

How is confidential client data handled?

Files transfer directly from Outlook to your SharePoint using your firm's Microsoft 365 credentials. Email content is never read, stored, or proxied through our servers.

Can the whole tax team use it during busy season?

Yes. $10/month for 3 users plus $3 per additional user, billed monthly with no annual commitment. Add seasonal staff for busy season and remove after.

Will it save attachments with consistent file names?

Yes. Configure a naming template once. Every saved attachment follows it firm-wide.

Does it work with shared and delegate mailboxes?

Yes. Works in any mailbox the user has access to in Outlook, including admin@ shared mailboxes that intake client documents.
