Incoming message processing

General properties:

From the Project/Incoming messages menu, select the General tab: 

Two actions can be taken when a new message arrives in the Inbox folder:

• Calling Mailing_OnReceiveMail() script event:
  The Mailing_OnReceiveMail() event from the Global Script is called by eMill when a message arrives in the Inbox folder. Enter your own VBScript code in this event. See the Server Side Scripting Guide for details. 
• Apply  the following rule(s):
  A message rule is a set of actions that will be executed if one or more conditions are verified. For example, removing the sender of the message from the receivers list if the subject contains the word 'Remove'.

Download properties:

From the Project/Incoming Messages menu, select the Download tab: 

Download options let you specify which messages gets downloaded or not from the incoming queues. If a message is not accepted, it will not be downloaded into the project Inbox folder. If at least one project accepts the message, then it will be downloaded and removed from the incoming queue. It is not possible to download and leave a message on the server, the reason for this is that it is not possible to remember messages that have already been read or not. 

The following options may be selected:

• Download it:
  The message will always be downloaded into the Inbox project.
• Call Mailing_OnAcceptMail() script event:
  The Mailing_OnAcceptMail() from the Global Script will be called. Enter your own VBScript code to perform whatever is needed. See the le Server Side Scripting Guide for details
• Test conditions:
  The message will be downloaded if one or all conditions in the list are verified. If no condition is present, the message will be downloaded.

Incoming queues:

In order to receive messages in the Inbox folder, you must first configure the incoming queues from the options box. Then, you must subscribe your project to the appropriate incoming queue(s). Below, the list displays all the incoming queues available.

• From the Project/Incoming messages menu, select the Incoming queues tab:

• Check a box to subscribe a project inbox to the queue(s). You may unsubscribe an inbox from a queue by unchecking its box.

Incoming Faxes: When launching the eMill server, a Fax incoming queue is automatically created. It allows eMill to know where incoming faxes are stored (by default C:\Program Files\Active+eMill\Fax\Inbox).

Testing the incoming messages processing settings:

To test rules or scripts that process incoming messages, you can simulate the reception of new messages. Use the Tools/Simulate incoming messages menu option and select one or more messages (messages must be in MIME format, .eml file). 

When simulating incoming messages, actions that only work with a published project will not have any effect (e.g. moving the message to a queue project folder)
