Filing mails & attachments

Mails and attachments can be dragged and dropped directly to the desired location using the Outlook app. When a project is opened, emails and attachments can be saved directly to the document storage. If a favorite is set to a folder, emails and attachments can be dragged and dropped directly to the favorites folder. It is also possible to attach mails and attachments directly to a comment or a description of a task.


Drag & drop of mails from the new Outlook into the buildagil app is not possible for technical reasons.
