Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a single text area (Task comments)that lets you
write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with the OKbutton,
and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Email Input
Email Input retrieves email data through a Microsoft Outlook or POP3 connection.
Note
If Microsoft Outlook connection is used, Microsoft Outlook 2000 or higher must be installed on the
computer where PReS Workflow is located.
Input
Email Input captures all emails and their attachments from the selected inbox, when those emails
correspond to the rules defined in the General tab. If no rule is defined, all emails in the inbox are retrieved.
Emails retrieved using POP3 are deleted from the server, emails retrieved from an Outlook inbox are moved
to the Deleted Items folder by default.
Processing
Depending on the options selected below, each email is converted into a text-only data file, and each
attachment is separated from the email.
Output
Depending on the options, each email is sent as a data file, followed by each of its attachments sequentially.
Technical
If you use Email input tasks to capture data encoded using a Double-Byte character set (such as
those used for Japanese 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
