Email Received (IMAP)
The Email Received (IMAP) trigger receives e-mail messages from an IMAP server.
Note:
IMAP access must be enabled on the e-mail account that is polled for messages.
Each IMAP trigger created on FME Server must reference a unique e-mail account. You cannot create multiple IMAP triggers that reference the same address.
Parameters
- IMAP Server Host: Provide the host name or IP address of the IMAP server.
- Gmail: imap.gmail.com
- Outlook (Live and Hotmail): imap-mail.outlook.com
- Yahoo: imap.mail.yahoo.com
- AOL: imap.aol.com
- IMAP Server Port: Provide the TCP port over which IMAP communication takes place.
- IMAP Email Account/Password: Provide the e-mail address and password of the account receiving e-mails over IMAP.
- Connection Security: Specify the encryption mechanism to use for the IMAP connection. The mechanism selected must work over the specified port.
- Verify SSL Certificate: If Yes, the connection to the specified IMAP Server Host is verified with a valid, signed SSL certificate. If No, the connection is not verified with an SSL certificate. This option is not secure and not recommended unless absolutely necessary, such as when using a self-signed certificate.
- Poll Interval:Specify how often, in minutes, to poll the IMAP server for e-mail.
- Emails to Fetch: If New Emails Only is selected, the publisher fetches only unread messages that were received after the last fetch. If Unread Emails is selected, the publisher fetches every unread e-mail message in the in-box.
- Filter Type: Allows you to fetch only the messages specified by the filter, based on content in the subject line. Filter Type can be:
- Simple: A specified string (case-insensitive).
- Regex: A regular expression. For information about creating regular expressions, see https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html.
- Subject Filter: Provide the filter, according to the specified Filter Type. Wildcard characters are not supported. If blank, no filter is applied, and all unread/new messages are fetched.
- Download Attachments To: Specify a location to download any attachments.
- Select a Resources folder (...).
- Enter your own location. Directory paths must use forward slashes (/) or escaped backslashes (\\).
