Configuring Automation for Emailrobot for SMTP

Step 1: Create a mailbox in which Emailrobot should receive all e-mail, for example robot@yourcompany.com (This mailbox must be dedicated to Emailrobot, i.e. you must not use it to receive your personal or other e-mail in, because Emailrobot will process all e-mail which is received in that mailbox.)

All e-mail that you wish to be processed must be forwarded to this mailbox. For example, if you have a Web form which sends mail to register@yourcompany.com and you have a Web form which sends mail to order@yourcompany.com, you should forward both these mails to the Emailrobot mailbox by using aliases on your Web or mail server.

Step 2: Start up the 'Emailrobot Task Manager' from the Emailrobot program group.

Step 3: Select 'Configure' and 'Email Automation' from the Emailrobot Task Manager menu. This will fire up the 'Email Automation' dialog, which allows you to specify from where Emailrobot should download mail to process.

Step 4: Now you must add the mailbox that Emailrobot should scan, by clicking on 'Add'. This will start up the Mailbox properties dialog, where you must specify your mail server name, mailbox name, mailbox password and download interval.

General options: You can also specify whether Emailrobot should delete the e-mail after retrieving it, and you can also temporarily switch off downloading of e-mail.

Time scheduling: This allows you to specify when Emailrobot should scan the POP3 mailbox to retrieve e-mail.

Step 5: After you have specified the mailbox from which Emailrobot should download e-mail, click 'OK ' to finish.
