The Email Connector supports only uni-directional synchronization of email assets to assets in OpenText products.
Supported protocols include POP3, POP3S, IMAP, and IMAPS. Use the "S" version when a secure port is required by the email server to receive emails.
The Email Connector does not support the SMTP protocol for sending emails.
Information about supported and validated versions can now be found in the support matrix in the online documentation.
This version of the connector supports emails as an asset type.
This connector requires at least build 26.1 of Micro Focus Connect and can be configured using the Micro Focus Connect UI.
The thesaurus.properties file should be copied to the Micro Focus Connect's AppData\data folder.
This connector is an update to the installed connector, you should remove (or move to a directory outside of the connectors) and replace the AppData\connectors\mfcConnectorEmail\mfcConnectorEmail*.jar file with the one provided.
The following information contains notes regarding installation, but does not replace the entire process.
When upgrading to 4.1.1, you need to remove all emails from the configured mailbox. Otherwise, the email connector will create duplicate items. This is caused by a Java-11 bug: JDK-8211750
In order to use this connector, you will need to collect and enter this information in the Micro Focus Connect user interface:
Email's attachments are not supported. Any kind of attachments will not be part of the synced email content.
When selecting a fallback user a message will state there are no users.
The project map syntax for the email connector is address:password. For example, john@foo.com:foopassword. If the password isn't in the project, e.g. there is no colon, Connect uses the password in the Datasource.
Due to the nature of how Pop3 handles emails once they are read on the server, when you use the Pop3 protocol, you cannot have multiple email connectors linking to a single inbox.
When using the email Connector with Gmail, you need to enable the Allow less secure apps setting in Gmail.
The email connector allows email content to be synchronized between systems.
The ProjectMap value for a Synchronization using the Email Connector is the email user name and password separated with a ":". If you have only 1 email source then these will be the values from the DataSource definition.
The email connector supports properties below for the Email type:
