Insert Messages into a Mailbox

You can use the connector's insert fetch action to insert messages into a mailbox on an IMAP server.

NOTE: The connector can only insert messages in .eml format.

To use the insert action, you must construct some XML that specifies where to insert the message, and the information to insert. In the XML you must set the MAILBOX property to the address of the destination mailbox. For example:

<insertXML>      
  <insert>
    <property name="MAILBOX" value="user@domain.com"/>
    <file>
      <type>file</type>
      <content>D:\files\email.eml</content>
    </file>
  </insert>
</insertXML>

You must add the XML to the insert action as the value of the insertXML action parameter. The XML must be URL encoded before being used in the action command. For example:

http://host:port/action=Fetch&FetchAction=Insert
                             &ConfigSection=MyTask
                             &InsertXML=[URL encoded XML]

When the action is successful, the connector returns a UID for each inserted message.

For more information about using the insert fetch action, refer to the IMAP Connector Reference.
