Email is commonly used to distribute content or provide
status information as part of an automated process. The Email service
(EmailService) enables processes to receive email
messages from a POP3 or IMAP server, and send email messages to
an SMTP server.
For example, a process uses the Email service to send an email
message with a PDF form attachment. The Email service connects to
an SMTP server to send the email message with the attachment. The
PDF form is designed to let the recipient click Submit after completing
the form. The action causes the form to be returned as an attachment
to the designated email server. The Email service retrieves the
returned email message and stores the completed form in a process data
form variable.
The following settings are available for the Email service. For
