Read Exchange Email
The Read Exchange Email object will retrieve email from an Exchange server and can save the messages and attachments for later processing.
Note: This object is incompatible with the Pipeline Databus.
How it is used
The Read Exchange Email object combined with the Filter Exchange Email object can be used to monitor email coming into a designated service mailbox to automatically route help and service requests to administrators.
Configuration
To configure the Read Exchange Email object you will need to have an Exchange profile configured for the user that is running the Action Server where you are deploying the Policy. If required, you will need a location to save the messages and attachments that are retrieved.
Details Tab
 
Mark retrieved messages as read
Select to mark all the messages that are retrieved by the Read Exchange Email object as read on the Exchange profile.
Retrieve only unread mail
Select to only retrieve new messages that are marked as unread on the Exchange profile.
Use sender email instead of friendly name
Select this option to save the sender information as their user name instead of the friendly name used in the Exchange Server. For example, when this option is selected a sender with a friendly name of 'John Smith' with an email address of 'jsmith@abccompany.net' will be saved as "jsmith". When this option is selected The Filter Exchange Email object will filter the From: field using the user name instead of the friendly name.
