POP3it Pro allows you to connect to a POP3 Email Server and download your email directly into your FileMaker Pro database. With the advances in FileMaker Pro 7 and above, POP3it Pro has even more freedom to work with your email databases and to work faster than ever before. Some of the newest features are no-script downloading, SSL/TLS support, import emails from other email programs, integrated account management, and a cancel button on the status window. For a complete list of features and their descriptions, see the Features section.
- No-Script Downloading - Add email downloading to your database without having to write a single script!
- SSL/TLS Support - Download email from secure mail servers like Gmail.
- Import Emails - POP3it Pro can import emails from files on your hard drive in several different formats including files that have the source of a single email or files in the "mbox" format such as those used by Thunderbird and Eudora. POP3it Pro can also import emails from Apple Mail 2.x mailbox folders.
- Integrated Account Management - Set up all your accounts within the plug-in instead of creating a database to store them.
- Cancel Downloading - The new status window contains a Cancel button to gracefully quit those long downloads.
- Simplified Calculation Functions - Use the easy functions for quick set ups, or turn on the Advanced Functions to add power to your databases.
- Contain Those Attachments - Download attachments directly into container fields in your database. Ignore Certain Attachments - You can now examine attachment names before extracting them and only extract those attachments you want.
- Advanced GoToMessage - The new GoToMessage function can go to any message by number or Unique ID.
- Reply Easier - New QuoteMessage function allows you to quote reply messages just like an email client.
- Timestamp Messages - POP3it Pro now returns message dates as Timestamps so you no longer have to convert the date format yourself.
- All New Plug-in - Completely rewritten from the ground up based on years of experience in developing FileMaker Pro plug-ins.
- FileMaker Pro 7+ Native - Takes full advantage of the FileMaker Pro 7+ Plug-in API.
- Universal Binary - Runs on PPC- and Intel-based Macs.
- Features Brought over from POP3it Classic
- Backward Compatibility - Turn on the Backward Compatibility option and use your existing POP3it Classic database without changing a single script.
- Extract What You Need - POP3it Pro's advanced functions mimic POP3it Classic's functions to allow you to extract only what you need out of email.
- Easy Loops - POP3it Pro's Connect, GoToMessage, and Disconnect functions make looping through your messages a snap.
- Attachments Where You Want Them - Tell POP3it to save attachments anywhere on your hard drive. You can even base that location on the message content itself.
