Source: Retrieving attachments from mail via IMAP

The IMAP Mail module connects to the mailbox, searches for messages by folder, sender, subject and attachment mask, and then picks up the appropriate file.

When to use

Use IMAP if suppliers send prices and balances by email.

Setting procedure

1. Create an IMAP Mail source.
2. Select a mail service or specify an IMAP server manually.
3. Fill in your email, password and folder, usually INBOX.
4. Choose whether to search only unread emails or all emails.
5. Set up a filter for subject, sender and attachment if you receive a lot of emails in your mailbox.
6. Select an action after processing: mark as read, do nothing, or delete the message.

What to check

• IMAP access is allowed in the mail service settings.
• The attachment filter does not filter out the required file.
• Once received, the letter is processed using the selected method.

Notes

• For Gmail, Yandex Mail, Mail.ru, Outlook and other services there are tips on IMAP hosts.
• If your provider requires an application password, use that and not the main email password.
