The Mail Connector is designed to read emails from a POP Email Server or send emails to an SMTP Email Server. The Mail Connector offers a viable alternative to a traditional Value Added Network (VAN) since the Email Connector is Internet-based, there are no ongoing document fees when exchanging data between trading partners.
Connector Configuration
Configuring a connector to download and upload files to an Email Server requires the setup of two different components, the connection and connector operation. This design allows for reusability of the components, which contain connection settings such as the host, username, password, etc. Once your connection and connector operation are built, you will need to set up a connector within a process model. When your connector is configured properly within your process, Boomi AtomSphere will be able to map to and from virtually any system using the Mail connector to retrieve files from or send files to an Email Server.
Prerequisites
The Mail Connector requires the following items to run:
- A POP/SMTP server.
- Appropriate permissions on POP/SMTP server.
- A port(s) to be open in Firewall configuration for the Static IP Address of the server that the Atom is deployed on.
- An Additional port if using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
Consult your System Administrator for assistance with these options.
