2.90:Mail Export

⚠	Export operations changed dramatically in 2021 with the addition of Export Behaviors. Please visit the Export (Activity) article for more up to date information in version 2021.

Mail Export is a Legacy Export provider allowing users to export to email inboxes and folders during the Document Export activity.

This provider exports documents to mail servers using the IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) protocol.  This is an Internet standard protocol used by email clients to receive messages from mail servers using a TCP/IP connection.  It is the protocol used by almost all modern email clients.  Basically, it's exporting to an email server.

Mail Export is one of the depreciated Legacy Export providers as of version 2.72. Going forward, it is considered best practice to use a CMIS Export provider with the appropriate Connection Type. The CMIS Binding equivalent to Mail Export is the "IMAP" Connection Type. Furthermore, if you use Microsoft Outlook, the Exchange binding has increased functionality for importing and exporting via email using Microsoft Exchange servers.  You'll want to use that one over the IMAP binding.

There are a few options under the Export Settings property of Document Export when selecting "Mail Export": General Here you can set the target mail folder for the export.  Also, if the Batch Folder has an existing Mail Link, you can export the batch to its original path by setting the "Export to Original Path" property to "true". Mail Server Connection You enter the server address any and other necessary properties to connect to a mail server here, such as the login credentials.
