2. Provide a name for the Publication
3. In the Protocol drop down menu, select Email (IMAP).
4. Specify the Topics you want to publish to using the drop-down selector. To create a topic and use it right away, click +.
5. IMAP Server Host: Provide the host name or IP address of the IMAP server.
Common IMAP Server Host Names
• Gmail: imap.gmail.com

Note: IMAP access must be enabled in the account settings.

• Outlook (Live and Hotmail): imap-mail.outlook.com
• Yahoo: imap.mail.yahoo.com
• AOL: imap.aol.com
6. IMAP Server Port: Provide the TCP port over which IMAP communication takes place.

7. IMAP Email Account/Password: Provide the e-mail address and password of the account receiving e-mails over IMAP.

Note: IMAP access must be enabled on this account.

Note: Each IMAP Publisher created on FME Server must reference a unique e-mail account. You cannot create multiple IMAP Publishers that reference the same address.

8. Connection Security: Specify the encryption mechanism to use for the IMAP connection. The mechanism selected must work over the specified port.
9. 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.
10. Poll Interval:Specify how often, in minutes, to poll the IMAP server for e-mail.
11. 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.

Note: When the IMAP server is polled, every unread e-mail in the in-box is marked as read, regardless of this setting.

12. 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.
13. 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.
14. Download Attachments To: Specify a location to download any attachments.
    • Browse resources: Select a path in a Resource Management directory.
    • Specify a location: Enter your own location. Directory paths must use forward slashes (/) or escaped backslashes (\\).
