The pipeline below demonstrates how the Email Reader Snap is used to read emails from shared mailboxes:

The Snap's configuration is the same as in reading emails from individual mailboxes, however the Account settings are to be configured a little differently:

• Email ID - email ID suffixed with "/shared-mailbox". For example, [email protected] /shared-mailbox

• Mail properties fields:

  • Mail property name: mail.imaps.auth.plain.disable

  • Mail property value: true

The screenshot below is a sample of the Account settings for such a configuration:

Validate the account and click Apply. If the mail properties are not configured the validation fails with an exception.

The Email Reader Snap is configured the same way as in individual mailboxes, in the Mail folder property, the folders from the shared mailbox are suggested as seen in the screenshot below:
