When incoming e-mail is enabled, SharePoint sites can receive and store e-mail messages and attachments in lists and libraries. This article describes two scenarios, one basic and one advanced. The basic scenario applies to a single-server farm environment and is recommended if you want to use default settings, whereas the advanced scenario applies to a single-server farm or a multiple-server farm and contains several advanced options from which to choose. For more information, see Plan incoming e-mail (SharePoint Foundation 2010).
