The Email Connector

The Email Connector provides a connection to your email server. This can be Microsoft Exchange or Lotus® Domino®. The connection enables you to monitor mailboxes and other collection sources in your email system.

During the installation of IBM® Content Collector, you can select Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino, or both as source systems. When you select both, the initial configuration process creates connector entries for both mail systems. In the Configuration Manager, you can then select for which mail system you want to configure the Email Connector. However, Content Collector can connect to only one mail system at a time so that you can work with either Microsoft Exchange or with Lotus Domino but not with both in parallel.
