Email To DMS
The Email To DMS block receives an email message from the server and adds it into the Documentation module. The email message is stored in Documentation as a text file (with all email message information). The received email is saved into the message.eml file without any attachments inside. The attachments are extracted from the received email message and saved as independent files.
Double-clicking on an Email to DMS block opens a special pop-up window: Email To DMS, where you define the settings.
The window can be divided into 3 sections:
- Header – select the server type and mailbox
- Server settings (POP3 or IMAP, depending on the selection in header)
- DMS Document Data
In the bottom, there are 3 buttons:
- Reset – Returns all field values to default or empty.
- OK – Saves information and closes the window.
- Cancel – Closes window without saving.
