EMail To DMS

Email To DMS block receives email message from server and addes it to Documentation module. Email message is stored in Documentation as text file for now (with all email message info). Received email is saved into message.eml file without attachments inside. Attachments are extracted from received email message and are saved as independed files.

Insert email settings to form for sending emails.
If no POP3/IMAP settings are set in block use settings from Administration panel with selecting option Use system settings from a drop-down menu (Mail server type).

Use Test button to check connection to email server.

When mailbox is selected in EmailToDMS settings form then info about received emails will be saved into tMN_MailboxLog table. Suggestion is to add independed mailbox for each email server. You can review log info in Administration Panel -> Mailboxes. If Mailbox in EmailToDMS settings form is not selected (Mailbox field is empty) than log info will not be saved.

Each email message has Message-ID field in its header. Value for this field is filled by outgoing server and it is globally unique. Message-ID value is saved in tMN_MailboxLog table into acExternalId field.

If you selects Mailbox than acExternalId value for selected mailbox will be used to check for duplicates. If you receive email with Message-ID that already exists in tMN_MailboxLog table than such message will not be processed. This is important for IMAP servers but it is also valid for POP3 servers.
