There you have it. I use this when sending scans to SharePoint or MS Teams, as well as sending scans to other users emails. A nice use for this is scanning invoices and purchase orders directly to an Invoices or Purchase Orders Document Library in SharePoint. This can be done by leveraging Teams. See Laura Rogers great post on Teams and incoming email.
