Email

Incoming Email

Crossfire messaging uses the POP3 protocol to connect to email servers and download email. This requires that POP3 is enabled on your mail server. This is not enabled by default in MS Exchange. Once emails are downloaded, they are deleted from the mail server and stored in Crossfire Messaging.

Server: The domain name or IP Address or your email server.

Port: The port to use to connect to your mail server. Port 110 is the standard port for the POP3 protocol.

Username: The username to use to access your mailbox, this is case sensitive.

Password: The password to use to access your mailbox, this is case sensitive.

Filter From: Crossfire messaging will only download emails if the from address of the sender matches the pattern defined in this textbox. This box uses Regular Expressions Leave empty to match any address.

Filter To: Crossfire messaging will only download emails if the to address of the recipient matches the pattern defined in this textbox. This box uses Regular Expressions. Leave empty to match any address.

Filter File Name: Crossfire messaging will download all attachments, but only pass ones which have a filename matching this expression to the System (Crossfire) or Route. This box uses Regular Expressions. Leave empty to match any address.

Check For Duplicates: When checking emails, if two emails contain the same GUID from MS Exchange Server, the second will be ignored.


Servers

Email transports can be configured to use Servers.   This reduces load on the email server, by logging into the account once, then checking the filter conditions for each Transport.   To do this, under the "Connection method", select "Run transport when the server schedule runs".   Then pick the Server from the drop down. 

When a Server is used on an Email Transport, the Server, Port, Username and Password are ignored.
