| POP3it allows you to download
email from any POP3 email server directly into a FileMaker
database. Because POP3it is a plug-in, you do not need any
other application in order to receive email. Everything
can be done within the FileMaker environment.
A few possible uses: Using
FileMaker to access your email through POP3it can be an
extremely powerful thing. You can check what email is on
your server and decide how to respond appropriately. For
example, if you have a shared email account, you can choose
to only download messages that are for you.
Likewise, you can filter
your account and only receive certain types of messages
in FileMaker, and use your normal email client to download
the rest of your email as you normally would. Because POP3it
allows you to specify in your scripts what email host and
email account to check, you can easily check multiple accounts.
Together with SMTPit, you
can make an entire email solution with only FileMaker and
make use of FileMaker's database features like sorting and
searching. Another great use of POP3it it to parse out messages
you receive from email forms on the web. Using FileMaker's
own built in parsing functions make such a solution a snap. |
