    I have never used it, but I think they have an email agent for consuming incoming emails.  I believe you have to purchase it?

    I tried that one and, to be honest, it's not a satisfactory solution.

    It has no mail-id pointer to what has been processed already, so you have to mark mails as read to indicate that they must not be processed again if you restart a job. So you might use Automic-specific mailboxes, but not shared ones. Also there is no persisting connection to the mail server. The more mailboxes you want to process, the more you are hammering the IMAP / POP system with connection requests. Also there is no Office 365 support.

    If you have a Exchange server, you can implement mail processing with Webservice Jobs using EWS (Exchange Web Services). Alternatively, python & powershell have cool modules to deal with mail servers.

    Hi Joel,

    it sounds that you're using an older version of the mail agent because version 2.1.9 of the Mail Agent sets processes mails to "read" using this configuration:
    We are using the agent for internal purposes (scan support mail boxes).

    There is also an option do delete processed mails or move to a folder (copy and delete source mail) which helps to keep the inbox in a maintanable size.

    >Also there is no persisting connection to the mail server

    This is still the case. You have to start the mail job periodically. So the mechanism doesn't work similat to a jobq object.

    regards,
    Peter

    Ihave not done it myself and it has a bit of a learning curve, you can theoretically use the REST interface to log into the MS-Graph API or older EWS.
