 +====== CONNECT TO EMAIL ======
 +
 +Using this action allows you to handle incoming e-mails dynamically, from a process. This action starts listening to the specified incoming e-mail account. 
 +
 +===== Syntax =====
 +
 +''CONNECT TO EMAIL'' AttributeIdentifier()
 +
 +The attribute identifier specified in the action identifies the e-mail account to connect to. It is expected that this identifier points to the object containing the following mandatory attributes:
 +
 +  * ''MailHost'' – email host server
 +  * ''MailUser'' – user name of the e-mail account on this server
 +  * ''MailPassword'' – password of the e-mail account on this server
 +  * ''AccountName'' – a unique name identifying this connection (which is then used in the [[a_f:a:disconnect_from_email|DISCONNECT FROM EMAIL]] action).
 +
 +
 +The following attributes are optional. If not provided default values are used:
 +
 +  * ''MailPort'' (Number, default value is 110) – port which the e-mail server uses
 +  * ''MailCheck'' (Number, default value is 300) – how frequently to check for new emails (in seconds)
 +  * ''MailSSL'' (Yes/No, default is No) – whether e-mail account requires SSL
 +  * ''MailTLS'' (Yes/No, default is No) – whether e-mail account requires TLS
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +<code aim>CONNECT TO EMAIL EmailAccount </code>
 +
 +This assumes that the application contains the EmailAccount object with the attributes above. At runtime the values of this object identify the e-mail account to connect to.
