IMAP Connector 24.2

# Insert Messages into a Mailbox

You can use the connector's `insert` fetch action to insert messages into a mailbox on an IMAP server.

NOTE: The connector can only insert messages in `.eml` format.

To use the `insert` action, you must construct some XML that specifies where to insert the message, and the information to insert. In the XML you must set the `MAILBOX` property to the address of the destination mailbox. For example:

    <insertXML>
      <insert>
        <property name="MAILBOX" value="user@domain.com"/>
        <file>
          <type>file</type>
          <content>D:\files\email.eml</content>
        </file>
      </insert>
    </insertXML>

You must add the XML to the insert action as the value of the `insertXML` action parameter. The XML must be URL encoded before being used in the action command. For example:

    http://host:port/action=Fetch&FetchAction=Insert
                                 &ConfigSection=MyTask
                                 &InsertXML=[URL encoded XML]

When the action is successful, the connector returns a UID for each inserted message.

For more information about using the `insert` fetch action, refer to the IMAP Connector Reference.
