Retrieving emails and extracting data from email files
Last updated: 8/27/2026
This article explains how to retrieve emails and extract data from
email files using the tPOP and tFileInputMail components.
The tPOP component fetches one or more email messages from a server using the POP3 or IMAP protocol, and the tFileInputMail component reads the header and content parts of a defined MIME or MSG email file.
It is recommended to use the IMAP protocol when reading email messages, since all operations on the emails are synchronized with the email server.
