Once I was trying to send the attachments along with the email messages being
sent to the SharePoint document library. All the configurations were proper and 
I had properly associated the document library with an email address. After the 
stage was properly setup for the document library to receive emails with the attachment,
I tested the same and expected it to work just fine, but I did not get any success.

I did a quick research over the internet and found out the solution from the MSDN
site. The reason mentioned was pretty straight forward. While associating a document
library with an email address, the Directory Management Service might miss out adding
the following two attributes:

 * **internet Encoding = 1310720**
 * **mAPIRecipient = false**

These two attributes must be added manually using the Active Directory Service Interfaces(
ADSI).

  |  **Note: ** |  
 |  On Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2, the Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI)  Edit is installed after you have installed the Active Directory Domain Services role. You can also install Windows Server 2008 Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) on domain member servers or stand-alone servers. |

**For adding the attributes by using ****Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI)
Edit, follow the steps mentioned below:**

 1. Click **Start**, and then click **Run**.
 2. In the **Run** dialog box, type **Adsiedit.msc**, and then click **OK**.
 3. In the ADSI Edit window, expand **ADSI Edit**, expand **Domain [DomainName]**, 
    expand **DC=DomainName, DC=com**, and then expand **CN=Users**.
 4. Right-click the user name to which you want to add the missing attributes, and 
    then click **Properties**.
 5. In the **Properties** dialog box, double-click **internet Encoding** on the **Attribute
    Editor** tab.
 6. In the **Integer Attribute Editor** dialog box, type **1310720** in the **Value**
    box, and then click **OK**.
 7. In the **Properties** dialog box, double-click **mAPIRecipient** on the **Attribute
    Editor** tab.
 8. In the **Boolean Attribute Editor** dialog box, click **False**, and then click**
    OK** two times.
