Based on this question I need to be able to run different workspaces as a result of an email to a single email address.

At this moment FME Server 2017 does not allow multiple Email publications with the same email address (but with different Subject filters).

Allowing more than one Email publication with the same email address would allow easy filtering based on the Subject line to trigger different topic and so different subscriptions.

It can be done by introducing an additional layer of workspaces, using FMEServerNotifier transfomers, but that makes the workflow more complex.

So I would like to be able to have multiple publications looking at the same email address.

Noting that this has been implemented for SMTP Publications for FME Server 2019.1 and newer.

 

There is limited support for IMAP Publications; while you can now use the same email for multiple Publications (using "legacy" Notifications or Automations), the behaviour can be unexpected as there will be a race condition for which IMAP setting marks the email as read – therefore causing the other to "skip" or "miss" the incoming email. For this reason, we are not marking this idea as released.
