Mail Adapter

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

I am trying to configure a sender mail adapter in XI .

I gave address of my Microsoft Exchange server as imap://<serveraddress>InBox in the communication channel for Sender Mail Adapter . I can see this communication channel green ( in running status) in Adapter Monitoring.

But i do not see ang XML messages in SXMB_MONI txn.

How exactly the polling of Mail Adapter works? .. Does it wait till it sees a new mail in the inbox and then only it picks up ?

Any pointers as to how should we set up things so tht atlesat i can see XML message for this sender adapter (even a erro XML message related to my sender channel is fine)

Please provide suggestions

Regards

rohan

Hi rohan,

I would suggest that you go through this blog by Michal to know how to configure your sender mail adapter,

Also, to know the various parameters of a sender mail adapter, just go through this link,

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/c093409c663228e10000000a1550b0/content.htm

Check your mail adapter configuration against these details. Also, check if the mail server you are trying to access is running.

Hope this helps,

Don't know if it was a typo, but you specified:

imap://<serveraddress>InBox

Should be imap://<serveraddress>/Inbox

Also, with imap, you can specify something like:

imap://<serveraddress>/<new folder>

This <new folder> would be a folder that you create to get the mail from.

I did find that the message has to be new/unread for it to be picked up by default.
