Mailbox MFT Connection Properties

Mailbox MFT Connection Properties

Create a Mailbox MFT Connection to define communications using a mailbox for an MFT Remote endpoint. Informatica Managed File Transfer can connect to mail box servers to retrieve email messages. Both POP-3 and IMAP mail box server types are supported. This is especially useful for processing incoming email attachments. When defining a Mailbox MFT Connection for an Informatica MFT endpoint, you need to indicate the connection properties such as the host name or IP address, user and password.
The following table describes the properties in the
