Save Outlook Emails on the Asite Platform via aMail

There are two ways to open the aMail panel for saving emails: you may use the top navigation ribbon menu, or you may right-click on your selected emails.


Use the aMail ribbon menu

When you have selected an email or multiple emails from your inbox or sent items that you would like to save, open aMail’s ribbon menu in the top navigation and select Save to Asite.

This will open the aMail panel on the right-hand side of your Outlook window.

Use the Right-Click Menu in Outlook Classic

In Outlook Classic, Select an email or multiple emails from your inbox or sent items that you would like to save, right-click and select Save to Asite.

  • This will open the aMail panel on the right-hand side of your Outlook window.
