52.24.2 Email Receive

Receives an email from an IMAP or POP3 server.
When composing an email script controlling both sender and receiver, it is best to use a sequence structure with a waiting period: Email Send > Wait > Email Receive.

Configuration property:

Email Protocol: The email retrieval protocol to use: IMAP4 or POP3.

Server Address: The IP address or host name of the IMAP or POP3 server.

Server Port: The port on which the IMAP or POP3 server listens for requests.

User: User name of email account.

Password: Password for email account.

Storage Location: Full path to directory in which to store emails. For POP3, all email contents are written to a single file: header fields, body text, and attachments (if any). For IMAP, the header and body are stored together in one file, while each attachment is stored separately in a file of its own.

Delete Retrieved Files: If set to True, all files are deleted from the Storage Location directory immediately on being downloaded there.

Security:

None: No security is applied.

SSL/TLS: SSL or TLS is used during the whole email session.

STARTTLS: The initial communication is not encrypted, but a STARTTLS command is issued later on to set up a secure session.
