E-Mail Processing Task
The E-Mail Processing Task allows you to retrieve e-mail messages from POP3 and IMAP servers and save the messages and/or message attachments to disk. Filtering rules allow you to select messages based on properties such as message contents, message headers, and attachment names.
The E-Mail Trigger provides the same e-mail processing functionality and can be used to poll the mail server and trigger the job when messages arrive. Use the E-Mail Processing Task when you want to process mail after triggering the job using a different kind of trigger.
For example, if you want to run a job each time an e-mail message arrives, you would use the E-Mail Trigger. If instead you wanted to run a job at 6:00pm to process any messages that have arrived during the day, you would use a Schedule Trigger to run the job, and an E-Mail Processing Task to download the messages.
