I have my email hosted on gmail cloud server, and I am about to get SharePoint 2013. I would like to use SharePoint to archive my gmail email on-premise. Can you advise on what I should do?
PS: Someone suggested this:
the only option I can see is to create a document library with an "email" content type, put the fields you need there
2nd. Create a timer job that reads from GMAIL using their API
Basically your timer job will make web service/rest calls, and once it has the info on memory, then use the sharepoint server API, to create a list item on sharepoint
Seems pretty simple, all you need is to learn their api, info below
Gmail API info here: https://developers.google.com/gmail/
Please advise how I can go about this.
