Description | This function is just like the POP3it_CheckAccount function, except instead of connecting to a mail server, it connects to either a file on your hard drive that contains one or more emails in the mbox format, an Apple Mail 2.x mailbox folder, or the Full Source of an email from a field in your database. The first parameter is a Path to the email file to import or the Full Source of an email. The optional AttachPath parameter allows you to specify where to Save Attachments on your hard drive. If you do not specify this parameter, POP3it Pro will not Save out any Attachments. The Show Status parameter will specify whether or not to Show the Status Window as it imports email. By default POP3it Pro will Show the Status Window when downloading email, but if you do not want it to do that, you can specify False for this parameter. If the Status Window is already shown before this function is called, the ShowStatus parameter is ignored. It’s always a good idea to have the Status Window open while importing email because there is a Cancel button on the Status Window which will allow you to cancel out of a lengthy email import process. The AltMessageTable and AltAttachTable parameters allow you to specify Alternate names for the POP3it_Messages and POP3it_Attachments tables, while the AltFieldNames parameter allows you to specify a return- or paragraph mark-separated list of <Original Field Name>=<New Field Name> pairs describing Alternate Field Names for POP3it Pro to use when inserting records into the Messages and Attachments tables. (An example of the Alternate Field Names would be “POP3it_Body=EmailBody” where “POP3it_Body” is the original field name that POP3it would use to store the Body of an Email and “EmailBody” is the name of the actual field in the database that should be used.) Note: You should make sure the other Email Client is closed before Connecting to one of its mailbox files.
