SharePoint 2013 incoming email not stored in doclib

Question

I have basic setup(automatic mode) of incoming email setting in SharePoint 2013 box. I have setup a SMTP server in front end web server.

I see my sent email appear in the drop folder for a while and then disappear, I guess it is picked up by the timer job. However I didn't see the email in the doc library. The badmail folder also have nothing.

The ULS log have following entries:

Answer 1

You should have a look at the Incoming E-Mail Settings in your DocumentLibrary. There are some settings which control the behavior of how the mail is saved. You can configure to only save E-Mail attachments and not the mail itself ("Save original e-mail").
