Receiving e-mails from MS Exchange without POP3/IMAP4

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to receive e-mails with XML attachement into XI 3.0 from MS Exchange.

Due company policy POP3 and IMAP4 protocols are prohibited.

So e-mail sender adapter is not possible to use.

Is possible to receive emails by ABAP program ( or other means ) and later to call an integration process with message mapping etc. and passing a received XML attachement to processing as a parameter.

Thank you.

Hi Marian,

maybe you can try to use RPC somehow?

(create a MAPI client that would connect using

the RPC - just like described below - the link and then

send mails to XI via web service with your attachments)

"Traditional Methods for Accessing Exchange Securely"

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/Security/prodtech/isa/isafp1/epo.mspx

but I don't know if this is possible/easy, etc

I suggest asking on the microsoft exchange server forums

if such a solution is possible:

Hi Michal,

thank you for your answer.

The other questions are :

1) Is possible to implement secure POP3/IMAP4 (I suppose they have abbreviation SPOP3 and SIMAP4) in XI 3.0 ?

2) I saw a solution how to call integrating scenario (interface) from an ABAP program written on same machine as XI reside. So I know it is possible. Unfortunatelly I dont have any documentattion for it. Is somewhere any documentation for it on SDN or on the Web.

Thank you.

this is standard + all you have to do is to use

different client on which you can write your programs
