Double-click the tPOP component to open
its Basic settings view.
In the Host field, enter the IP address of the email
server you want to connect to.
In the Port field, enter the port number of the email
server.
Select Basic from the Authentication
mode drop-down list and provide the username and password to use to
read the emails in the corresponding fields.
In the Output directory field, specify the path where
email messages will be downloaded and stored as files.
In the Filename pattern field, define the file name for
each individual email message. Each message will be downloaded and stored as a
file on disk. You can press Ctrl+Space to display the
list of predefined patterns. In this example, the name of the files for each
email will be named using a combination of date, year, file and count. The files
will have a .mail extension. Therefore, we will enter the
expression TalendDate.getDate("yyyyMMdd-hhmmss") + "_" +
(counter_tPOP_1 + 1) + ".mail" as the filename pattern.
Select the Retrieve all emails? check box if you want to
retrieve all email messages present on the specified server. If you do not want
to retrieve all emails, you can specify the number of email you want to retrieve
in the Number of emails to retrieve field. In this
example, we want to retrieve 10 emails.
Select the Newer email
first check box to retrieve the most recent email messages
according to the number specified in the Number of emails to retrieve field.
Clear the Delete emails from server check box to keep
the retrieved email messages on the server.
Information noteNote: For Gmail servers, this option does not work for the POP3 protocol. Select
the IMAP protocol and ensure that the Gmail account is configured to use

Select the protocol from the Choose the protocol
drop-down list, imap in this example.
Select the Use SSL check box to enable the component to
open an SSL connection when communicating with the mail server.
Information noteNote: This option is obligatory for users of Gmail.
