Hello,
I am trying to receive email from Gmail using POP3, but unable to do that.
My question is, has anyone ever used EmailInputNode to connect to Gmail using pop3 to receive emails? Is that even possible in any version of Message Broker / Integration Bus?
Thanks
Bilal

We get these posts from time to time here.
Why not use the google search (upper right of the screen) to search them first?
Some things to ask yourself:-
What version of the product (including fixpacks) and what platform?
What have you configured and how?
What have you tried?
What errors do you get? did you take a user trace to see what happens or were you relying on the debugger only?
Is there a firewall in the way?
Does the FQDN you are using resolve to the right IP address for the service?
It is very difficult if nigh on impossible to help you given the very brief problem description you posted.

| Can you please provide us more information. What is the Email server and port that you have set on the node. What is the resource name that you have set on your mqsisetdbparm command. |

Gmail requires SSL for any email communication.
It also requires a custom port # for any email communication.
There has been previous discussion here about connecting to Gmail (use the search box on this page).
A lot of this discussion has also involved reading very large PDFs from said email.
Please be aware that using Email to transfer files is a relatively poor idea.

Please be aware that processing very large (1Gb+) data in Broker requires non-default configuration and tuning.

Have you even tried to answer my questions? Two of us have suggested that you look at the previous posts here because a lot of your problems will be answered there.
So far we don't have any evidence that you are willing to try things out for yourself even if they don't work.
I guess you are looking for a step by step guide to using the email node with Gmail
AFAIK, one does not exist. So why not help others by writing it yourself. Then other people with your problem will benefit from the wisdom you will acquire in getting it to work.

Those are questions you need to answer.
Again, there are previous posts about using Gmail. There's a lovely search box that will help you find them.

I tried many options (following docs for configurable service and security identity) to get EmailInputNode working with Gmail using POP3 and imap. It seems not working at all.
I got it working for yahoo using imap for twice (It did read emails twice and then stopped working).
There might be something missing in the documentation which might need to be done to make EmailInputNode working for receiving email using pop3.
Anyways, I solved my problem using JavaCompute Node (Java Mail API).
Just one suggestion for the chaps here, Please don't always anticipate
and try to answer in the context of the question.
So my question still stands:
Has anyone used EmailInputNode to connect to Gmail using pop3 to receive emails and got it working successfully?.
If you have done that please reply Yes.
Thanks,
Bilal |

We are the people giving out free advice. You're the person asking for it. It is up to you to convince us that you are not a time-waster, and that you have actually done some reading/experimentation yourself.

Well done for doing the background work before posting - but your question gave us no reason to expect that. Next time, please mention it in your first post. It is not reasonable to expect us to guess this stuff. |

Are you getting anything back from Google when you try to connect from the EMAILInputNode?
How do you know it is not working? What errors are you seeing?
Have you tried running the flow with usertrace enabled?
Does the trace output show anything?
Please show us how you configured the configurable service and security identity and dbparms (obfuscate usernames and passwords). You never know, you might have made a mistake. We all do that from time to time.

Yes. Does that answer "in the context of the question"?

If you don't like the way we answer questions, don't ask them. We won't miss you.
