Incoming POP3 Emails Processing in Microsoft SharePoint 2007
Virtosoftware.com
Microsoft SharePoint 2007 for routing incoming emails from POP3
servers.
Microsoft SharePoint 2007 enables incoming email routing. SharePoint
default email service collects messages from specified email addresses
and put the information from the messages into a predefined SharePoint
list. The service is often used for organizing some help desk or
customer support services, where processing incoming mail usually
serves as the first step in the workflow scheme.
However, the default SharePoint service has some shortcomings that
restrict its usefulness, and applicability. First, it allows
collecting email messages from SMTP servers only. Second, it does not
allow for collecting emails from more than one mail server or domain.
Third, the service supports only default SharePoint list types and
cannot put email information to a list of a custom type. Finally, the
deployment and setting up procedures are not that quick and simple.
Virtosoftware offers an alternative solution that on the one hand is
much simpler in deployment and usage and on the other hand provides
SharePoint users with additional features. In addition to all the
features available when using the default email service Virto Incoming
SharePoint Email Service allows for collecting mail from POP3 servers,
collecting mail from multiple email servers and domains and enables
gathering information from emails in SharePoint lists of any type
including custom ones.
