Getmail

Fusion Getmail is a plugin that allows you to receive email directly into FileMaker databases. The email messages can be plain text or HTML-formatted and can include attachments.

FileMaker uses Getmail to communicate directly with your POP mail server. This removes the need to create enterprise-wide systems for importing messages from mail client programs into a FileMaker database.

Cross-platform solutions are convenient too, because the plugin works the same on Windows and Mac OS X.

A sample FileMaker Pro database is included with the Getmail plugin. This is a completely open database that you can inspect and test. It is a useful tool for familiarising yourself with Getmail's functions.

  • Collect email with FileMaker

  • Access the raw source of the message
  • Collect from multiple accounts using the scriptable settings
  • Store attachments along with messages right in your FileMaker 7 databases
