If the e-Mail adapter must poll for e-mail messages to send to
the integration broker, you must configure the mail servers to
provide the mailboxes and poll locations that the e-Mail adapter
uses for polling. To configure mail servers, do the following:
- Create user accounts that can access the poll locations. Users
can be located on a single mail server or on multiple mail
servers.
- Configure the poll locations for each user by creating a poll
folder, archive folder, and failed event folder for each poll
location. Although users may have multiple poll locations, and poll
locations can be located on different mail servers, the three
folders for a poll location must be located in the same mailbox.
The adapter connects to these folders using the user name and
password of the mailbox owner.
Note that the adapter does not use these mailboxes when sending
business object requests. Instead, it uses the mail server name as
specified by the SMTP_MailHost adapter configuration property.
