Have a look at these weblogs ....

Do you have to sent both the mail and file ?

In case of the external definition, u can import the xsd in that weblog under your External definitions in IR and then use the same in your mappings and interfaces.

Hi Vijay,

More questions..

Question 1: When shoud we choose SMTP/IMAP4 in Transport Protocol and XIALL/XIPAYLOAD in Message Protocol

Question 2: In connection parameters for mail server what is URL and is it mandatory to add userid and password

Question 3: When we select XIPAYLOAD as Message protocol, then what is the best option to choose in the Mail Attributes like UseMailPackage or Keep Attachment

Thanks

Ques 1 >>> If you look at the help - SMTP ->

You use SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to transfer e-mails to an e-mail server. IMAP4 ->

You use IMAP4 (Internet Message Access Protocol) to put e-mails in a folder of an e-mail server.

Ques 2 >>> the url will be the address of your email server

Question 3 >>> depend on your requirement , refer Prasad's blog /people/prasad.ulagappan2/blog/2005/06/07/mail-adapter-scenarios-150-sap-exchange-infrastructure for more details.

Hi Andy,

You can configure a receiver mail adapter and choose the message protocol as XIPAYLOAD. You can configure the receiver mail adapter as per the help in this link:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6b/4493404f673028e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

Else if you want to send the file received in your file system, then you have to configure another scenario to pick up the file and send it as an email.
