Configuring email connector actions

The email connector can scan email servers that support IMAP protocol or Exchange Web Service (EWS) for incoming email messages with attachments. You specify and export the attachments into a batch.

Before you begin

Verify that Datacap connectors are installed.

Procedure

To configure email connector actions:

  1. For EWS email servers, specify the version of the mail server you want to scan for attachments.
  2. Add the email actions for your email server (IMail.RRX or EWSMail.RRX) to the Export rulesets.

Example

The following example describes a Use EWS ruleset that selects the version of the EWS email server to use. The ruleset logs on to the mail server, scans the server for incoming mail with attachments and imports them into the batch.

The ruleset contains the Connect to EWS and Find Attachment rules. The Connect to EWS contains the Version and Logon functions and actions you must make the connection to the wanted version of the email server. The Find Attachment rule contains the Scan function with actions that locate the specified attachments and import them into the batch.
