Filtering emails

You can use the Filter and FilterField properties to specify the email fields that the probe parses.

Use the Filter property to specify the search criterion that the probe uses to select messages for retrieval. Use the FilterField property to specify the name of the email field that the probe uses, in conjunction with the Filter property, to select emails for retrieval.

The probe retrieves all emails whose FilterField property matches the criterion specified by the Filter property. For example, if the FilterField property is set to Subject and the Filter property is set to Netcool, the probe retrieves and parses all emails whose Subject field contains the term Netcool®.

If the FilterField property is left empty, the probe retrieves all emails that contain the value specified by the Filter property in any email field. For example, if the FilterField property is empty, and the Filter property is set to .*Netcool.*, the probe retrieves and parses all emails that contain Netcool in any of their fields.

Note: To retrieve all emails from the server, set the Filter property to .* (a period followed by an asterisk). The FilterField property can be set to any value.
