SharePoint only shows Incoming Email settings link for OOTB lists of type Announcements, Event, Document Library, Picture Library, XML Form, Discussion Board, Posts.
So, if you create a custom list, you need to create a custom email event handler and attach to your list and then Incoming Email settings link will be available.

Inbound email allows lists to receive email. This allows a SharePoint list to be configured with its own email address. Incoming emails usually create new list items with the details of the email and body of the email. In addition the original email and attachments can be attached to the list item.
This is a good replacement for public folders in ...

Incoming email enables you to send emails that end up in document libraries or other lists. Most of my customers are using this to archive/attach mails belonging to a project or make them searchable.
From the TechNet article that explains the planning steps:
"The incoming e-mail feature enables teams to store the e-mail that they send to other team members ...

This is not true, you can enable incoming emails on a custom list. Check this post out:
http://jasear.wordpress.com/2010/11/11/enable-incoming-emails-on-a-custom-sharepoint-list/
Your custom list basically needs to implement the EmailReceived event handler.

Maria,
There's no out-of-the-box built-in method for handling email to anonymous lists. The reason is fairly simple; in a custom list, no columns but the Title column exist by default, so there would be no way to take the contents of an incoming email and put into the list.
However, that doesn't prevent you from having custom lists with email if you're ...

The guide mentions there being a delay between sending your email and seeing the document show up. I assume it is a timer job that performs the email pickup tasks. Is the SharePoint timer service running? It is called SharePoint 2010 Timer
If the service IS running, are you able to see your job running in central admin? No jobs should be running right now ...

The timer job that picks up mail runs about every 5 minutes or so, so you should not see the email sit there for long. If it does just sit there, and the Timer service is running, then the problem may be that SharePoint does not recognize the TO address as an email-enabled document library.
Make sure that you have configured the incoming email domain to ...

On a multi-server farm, be sure the "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Incoming E-Mail" service is running on the same server you're using for the SMTP service, presumably one of your front end servers. Check this in Central Admin-System Settings-Manage Services on Server and cycle through your servers on the top-right. In my case the above mentioned service ...

The SharePoint Directory Management service connects SharePoint sites to your organization's user directory to provide enhanced e-mail features. The benefit of using this service is that it enables users to create and manage e-mail distribution groups from SharePoint sites. This service also creates contacts in your organization's user directory so people ...

You would need to mail-enable to the list so that it was able to receive email. You will then make sure that AD is able to recognize that list's email address as a valid mail recipient. Then add that email address as a recipient of jithu@abc.com.
I am not sure about handling the attachment though.

It might be that you have a nullpointer exception.
I would try debugging the receiver, like this:
Deploy your solution.
Restart the SharePoint Timer Service (From services).
In VS click Tools -> Attach to Process.
Click Refresh
Find the one called OWSTIMER.EXE and attach to this.

One approach I would like you to try,
Configure Incoming email settings on a SharePoint library. There are many articles in the web, like this which explains the same.
Once you start receiving emails directly to SharePoint library, you can use the SPEmailEventReceiver class which fires when an email is received in a list and then you can initiate a ...

Yes you're correct. AD/Exchange isn't a requirement for SharePoint incoming email.
As long as you can get the email delivered to the SMTP service running on a SharePoint server.
The "only" advantage using AD/Exchange is the option automatic creation of the mailbox when a list is enabled for incomming emails.
You can just follow the Simple scdenarion of ...

Incoming email is only available in select lists and libraries.
Document, picture, or form library
Announcements list
Calendar list
Discussion board
Blog
Reference
So you'd need to use one of these lists or libraries as your base, remove the default content type and add your own.

There yre two ways for the solution
Update to the Latest CU or at least June CU 2012.
Go to Central Administration > Application Management > Configure quotas and locks > on the Site Quota Information section > set a limit (i.e: 5000 MB) on this setting: “Limit site storage to a maximum of:” > and then press “OK”.
After that it works for me.

AFAIK email enabled lists are not possible with O365.
There are 3rd party products available with that features, see http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/onlineservicessharepoint/thread/73673deb-04e8-4a27-a825-fe3b58683135/

You need to have SMTP server installed on the dev box so that it can receive email from the Lotus Notes box. Also, Lotus Notes box needs to know where to send the mail. So if you have developer@mydevbox.com as the recipient URL, that mydevbox.com needs to resolve to your dev box.
I haven't tried this myself, but you might be able to just use HOSTS file on ...

Looking at the SharePoint help it seems like attachments is out of the box.
"If the Post list is configured to receive attachments, you can include an attachment to your blog post by attaching the file to your e-mail message."
However I'm not sure why there is no option for the attachements. Does anyone know what is missing.

Salve! I wanted to set up email too, for my Sharepoint. In my configuration, I used hMailServer.
I realize you didn't mention hMailServer in your post, but I want to use it as an example because it represents a third-party mail server that is not Exchange, and has nothing (as you wished) to do with Active Directory.
I am going to assume you have followed ...

if i understand you correct you want to show incomming emails into a sharepoint 2010 list?

Email enable SharePoint 2010 lists
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/ff679958.aspx
Hope this helps

Out of the box SharePoint only supports receiving email to specific types of lists and libraries. For instance, you can receive email on an Announcements list. However, you cannot receive email on custom lists.
You could, however, start with an announcements list and add your custom fields as necessary.

You need to make sure you correctly configured Incoming Email in SharePoint. On one of your WFE you need to configure SMTP. POP3 is not needed as the WFE serves as relay mainly. See here for a guide http://weblogs.asp.net/jeffwids/archive/2010/08/16/configuring-incoming-email-for-sharepoint-2010-foundations.aspx

Are you sure your incoming email is setup correctly? Can you email a document to an email enabled document library successfully? I'm unsure what you mean by calendar email id, the way I've gotten this to work in the past was by creating an email address for my events list (incoming email settings on the list) and send the meeting invite to that email ...

If you considering email for meeting, why not already use calendars in SharePoint that actually could receive events by email, and leave documents in libraries.
See here how to setup http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/view-and-update-a-sharepoint-calendar-HA010081987.aspx#BM6

Based on my experiments in the case of an OWSTimer process you should access your external data using the BCS API instead of running a CAML query against the external list. See details here: http://pholpar.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/accessing-external-data-from-sharepoint-timer-jobs-or-from-event-receivers-triggered-by-incoming-mail/

For intellisense, There might be some problem with your VS templates for SharePoint.
Anyway, problem with intellisense will not stop you to inherit the class in code. Create a class like below :
public class EventReceiver1 : SPEmailEventReceiver
{
/// <summary>
/// The list received an e-mail message.
/// </summary>
...

All you need to do is set the EmailAlias
to the list.
You should also check out http://www.novolocus.com/2009/04/15/programmatically-create-and-configure-mail-enabled-lists/ for advanced properties to set.
