Hi everbody,

 

Following this tutorial I've set up everything in FME Server to receive and process certain emails, and everthing works really fine. The only missing detail is to save the received and processed email to the file system (*.msg preferred). Is there any possibility to do this?

 

By the way, I have to use IMAP, and for the next few days (or weeks?) we'll still be using FME 2017.1 before updating to FME 2019.1

Any hint is appreciated ;-)

I believe that the .msg format is proprietary to Outlook, so you'll probably have to play around with Python to save your mail to that format.

If you want to simply save the mail contents to a text or html file, you can either use the Text File writer or the AttributeFileWriter transformer.
