Context: BT used to use the Outlook Public Folders. We recently deployed a SharePoint environment.

The purpose was to migrate all the documents stored into the Public Folders to SharePoint with a custom Outlook add-in.

Outcome: BT can now transfer all the documents stored into the Public Folders to SharePoint Document Libraries with a time-saver Outlook add-in and a simple right click.
