RE: [ cf-dev ] How to parse emails

[Robin Griffiths]

I’m assuming this is a POP mailbox (most are).     You need to use <cfpop> to read the mailbox. (this from the docs) <cfpop     server = "servername"     port = "port_number"     username = "username"     password = "password"     action = "">     name = "queryname"     messageNumber = "number"     uid = "number"     attachmentPath = "path"     timeout = "seconds"     maxRows = "number"     startRow = "number"     generateUniqueFilenames = "boolean">    This returns a query object through which you can loop. You can then access the various attributes of each mail – see the livedocs for details Warning: if you use OE to read the mailbox, then the mails will be deleted from the server by default once you have downloaded them – you can change this, as it’ll be best to use CF to delete the mails once they’ve been parsed and uploaded to your DB. You can set up a scheduled task in the administrator (or using the cfschedule tag) to run the job as often as is necessary.   From: Jenny [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 09 August 2004 10:59 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ cf-dev ] How to parse emails     Hi all,   Hope someone can help me ....   I recieve daily emails into outlook express from a maillist that I wish to use as site content.  Is there anyway I can read these messages into the database using CF ?   Regards,   Jennifer Gavin-Wear Managing Director     Fast Track On Line -Web Design and Development http://www.fasttrackonline.co.uk   --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
