Email Connector settings

Record the system settings that you want to use to configure the Email Connector actions and have these values available during the configuration process.

Each email message that contains one or more of the wanted attachment types becomes a new Datacap document. Message headers and body, and pages are created for each of the attachments.

IMail and EWSMail set an EmailCount at the Batch level and at the following Document level variables for each email message accepted (Done): TYPE="Document", Message ID, Subject, From, To, DateSent, Priority, Body= User.

IMail also sets the following Page level variables for each attachment: TYPE="Other", IMAGEFILE=attachment filename.

When you do not use the ex_EMLOption action, EWSMail sets the following Page level variables for each attachment: TYPE="Other", IMAGEFILE=attachment filename in batch ATTACHNAME=original attachment filename.

When you use the ex_EMLOption action for EWSMail, pages for attachments are not created, and variables for those attachments are not set.

Email Input actions

Use the actions in IMail.RRX when your mail server uses the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP). These include Microsoft Exchange Server, Novell GroupWise, and others.

Use the EWSMail Input actions when your mail server is an Microsoft Exchange mail server, which is configured to allow Exchange Web Service access.

Before you configure these actions, record the appropriate values for your system and have them available during the configuration process.
