POP3it Pro

Email downloading made easy.


Introduction

What is POP3it Pro?

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, integrated account management, and a cancel button on the status window. For a complete list of features and their descriptions, see the Features section below.

New Features Unique to POP3it Pro:

  • 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.
  • 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 on your mail server by number or UniqueID.
  • 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.

Features Brought over from POP3it:

  • Extract What You Need - The advanced functions mimic the old version of POP3it to allow you to extract only what you need out of Messages.
  • Easy Loops - Use the Connect, GoToMessage, and Disconnect functions to make looping through your messages a snap.
  • Attachments Where You Want Them - Tell POP3it Pro to save attachments anywhere on your hard drive or even base the location on the message content itself.
