If you use Email input tasks to capture data encoded using a Double-Byte character set (such as those used for Jap-
anese or Chinese, for instance), it is preferable to use attachments rather than the email body to carry the data from
its source to the input task, as data corruption is less likely to occur using this method.
Email input task properties are as follows:
General tab
l Data Location group
l Message body: Select to use the data found in the body of the email.
l Attached file: Select to use the data found in the email’s attachment. If both the Message body and
Attached files options are selected, the message’s body and the message’s attachment are treated as sep-
arate data files and processed one after the other.
l Unzip attached file: Select to unzip the attached files.
l Zip password: Enter the password required to unzip the attached files (if any). Note that you can use
variables and data selections.
l Conditions group
l “Subject” contains: Select to limit those messages used by this task to those with a specific subject. The sub-
ject you enter in the box below can include variables and wildcards.
l Nothing: Select to limit those messages used by this task to those that do not specify any subject.
l “From” contains: Select to limit those messages used by this task to those that are sent from a specific
address. The address you enter in the box below can include variables and wildcards.
l “To” contains: Select to limit those messages used by this task to those that are sent to a specific address.
The address you enter in the box below can include variables and wildcards.
Login Tab
l Use Microsoft Outlook: Select to use the Microsoft Outlook email account of the current user to receive emails. The
current user is the one defined in PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Service Logon.
l Move message after processing to folder: Enter the name of an Outlook Folder to keep copies of the
emails taken by this email input task. You should enter only the name of the folder as it appears in Outlook’s
Folder List area, regardless of whether it is a child of another folder. For example, if you want to use a folder
named Bills that is listed under another folder named PassedDue, only enter Bills in the text box. Make sure no
two folders have the same name, even if they are under different parent folders, as this could generate errors.
Consider creating a special folder in Outlook (perhaps a child of the Deleted Items folder named Watch) and
then using that folder as your backup folder.
l Use POP3 mail group
l Select this option to use a POP3 mail server and to activate this group. Note that emails retrieved via POP3 are
always deleted from the server.
l Incoming mail (POP3): Enter the address of the incoming POP3 mail server. This box is only enabled when
the Use POP3 mail option is selected.
l Account name: Enter the email account name on the POP3 mail server. This box is only enabled when the
Use POP3 mail option is selected.
l Password: Enter the password required to unlock the selected account on the POP3 mail server. This box is
only enabled when the Use POP3 mail option is selected.
"Other" Tab
l Job Information group
l Information elements:indicates what job infos are automatically created by the input task.
l Add lines before first data page:Using the arrows keys you can add any job information directly at the
beginning of your data file.
