Docketwise's Outlook add-in article, dated June 30, 2026, requires that the firm's administrator has allowed add-ins in Outlook or Office 365.

\n

To save an email, a staff member opens it and clicks the Docketwise icon. The add-in suggests a contact based on the sender, and the staff member can choose another, then a matter under that contact. One button saves the email as a message. Attachments are a second step, saved to a folder the staff member picks.

\n

Every save through the add-in is one person's decision about one email, so a firm that relies on it needs a rule about who saves client email and when.

\n

CampLegal's integrations page describes an Outlook add-in that links an email thread to a client case with one click, after which the messages in that thread sit in the case file. Here the unit is the thread instead of the single message.
