Email Filing That Matches Your Matter Folders

The email-to-matter problem every firm has

The official rule is "every client email gets filed to the matter." The reality is messier:

  • Attorneys forward emails to a paralegal who manually drags them into SharePoint
  • Sent mail rarely makes it into the matter folder — it stays in everyone's Sent Items
  • Attachments get lost, or end up in the matter folder under names like "scan_001.pdf"
  • When a matter goes to litigation or a new attorney picks it up, half the correspondence is missing
  • A full DMS (iManage, NetDocuments) is overkill or out of budget for the firm size

This add-in fixes the email half of the problem without replacing your SharePoint setup. It learns which matter folder each contact maps to, files mail in one click (or zero — see Save on Send), and preserves emails as EML or PDF so the record is intact for the file.

Why law firms use this

Filed by client and matter

Browse and search any SharePoint folder structure — typically Client › Matter › Correspondence. Star favorites for active matters.

Save on Send for outgoing

Attorneys file replies and outgoing letters as they hit Send. No "save it later" — outgoing client mail is in the matter folder before the email leaves the building.

EML preserves the record

EML keeps full headers, recipients, timestamps — defensible for litigation holds, document productions, and audits. PDF is one click away when you need it.

Metadata for matter and client

Map SharePoint columns to email fields — Client, Matter ID, Attorney, Date — and they're populated on every save without hand-typing.

Inbox cleanup for the backlog

Onboarding a new attorney's inbox or a shared mailbox? Run cleanup rules to file the backlog in one pass instead of one email at a time.

Confidentiality preserved

Files go straight from Outlook to your SharePoint using your firm's Microsoft 365 credentials. Nothing routes through our servers — important for privilege and data-residency questions.

What this looks like in practice

Opening client mail

Attorney opens an email from a client. The add-in panel shows a smart suggestion: the matter folder where past mail from this client has been filed. One click to save — email and attachments go in together, with metadata columns set.

Sending an outgoing letter

Drafting a reply or a new outgoing letter? Pick the matter folder while composing. Save on Send files the outgoing email automatically the second you hit Send. The matter file stays current in real time.

Paralegal filing the backlog

Paralegal opens the attorney's shared mailbox or a delegate mailbox, runs Inbox Cleanup against the unfiled backlog, previews suggested destinations, and files everything in one pass.

Out-of-office attorney

Attorney is in trial or on vacation. Auto-Archive is on for known senders. Mail from existing clients files itself to the right matter folder while they're away — only senders the attorney has previously mapped, never new ones.

Frequently asked questions

How does this compare to iManage or NetDocuments?

Those are full document management systems with their own storage, security model, and pricing — typically $40–80/user/month plus implementation. This add-in keeps your existing SharePoint setup, costs $10/month for 3 users, and focuses on one job: getting email into the right matter folder. For firms that already standardized on SharePoint or are not ready for a full DMS, it fills the email-filing gap without a migration.

Can I file to a deep matter folder structure?

Yes. The add-in browses any SharePoint site and folder hierarchy you have access to, including nested folders organized by client, year, or practice area. After you save once, it suggests the same folder for future mail with that contact.

Does it preserve the email for the record?

Yes. EML preserves all headers and is the Outlook native format — defensible for evidence. PDF is available for productions and reviews. Choose per save or set a default.

Can paralegals file from a shared or delegate mailbox?

Yes. The add-in works in any mailbox the user has access to in Outlook. Each user occupies one seat regardless of how many mailboxes they file from.

Are emails or attachments stored on your servers?

No. Files transfer directly from Outlook to your SharePoint using your firm's Microsoft 365 credentials. We never read, store, or proxy email content.

What does pricing look like for a small firm?

$10/month covers 3 users (e.g., one attorney, one paralegal, one assistant). Additional users are $3/month each. No annual contract, no minimum-seat commitment, monthly billing.
