Create a Fetch Task

To automatically retrieve data over POP3, create a new fetch task by following these steps. The connector runs each fetch task automatically, based on the schedule that is defined in the configuration file.

To create a new Fetch Task

  1. Stop the connector.
  2. Open the configuration file in a text editor.
  3. In the [FetchTasks] section of the configuration file, specify the number of fetch tasks using the Number parameter. If you are configuring the first fetch task, type Number=1. If one or more fetch tasks have already been configured, increase the value of the Number parameter by one (1). Below the Number parameter, specify the names of the fetch tasks, starting from zero (0). For example:

    [FetchTasks]
    Number=1
    0=MyTask
  4. Below the [FetchTasks] section, create a new TaskName section. The name of the section must match the name of the new fetch task. For example:

    [FetchTasks]
    Number=1
    0=MyTask
    
    [MyTask]
  1. In the new section, set the following parameters.

    Server The host name or IP address of the mail server.
    Port The port to use to retrieve the messages over POP3.
    Username The user name to use to access the repository.
    Password The password to use to access the repository.
    SSLConfig (Optional) To use SSL, you must set this parameter to the name of the section in the configuration file that contains the SSL settings.

    For example:

    [MyTask]
    Server=mail.mydomain.com Port=110 Username=user Password=9va SSLConfig=SSLSettings [SSLSettings] SSLMethod=SSLV23
  2. Save and close the configuration file.
