Hi,
I've been trying to set up an email task to look in a particular folder (not the inbox/default folder) and either move emails to a different folder or delete them. I've come across a couple of problems with this.
First, although I've specified the folder I want it to look in, it will only look at the default folder (inbox). These are the settings in the task:
As you can see, I've clearly specified a folder to look in, but it returns a list of messages from the inbox. Also, I've checked the "leave messages on server" box; once I get it returning the correct list of messages, I'll change that to "delete messages on server". I had posted about this awhile ago, and at the time, what wasn't working was the date constraint. From what I can tell, that part is now working (i.e. although it returns messages from the inbox, it IS only returning messages that are more than 2 weeks old).
The reason I want to set this up is that we have another job that monitors the inbox for emails with a particular subject line and processes them, part of which involves moving the emails to this folder. That works perfectly, but it means that this folder keeps growing until I manually clean it up. So, I'd like to have VC automatically clean it up.
Second, I was looking for a way to move messages to a different folder instead of delete them. The only thing I can see that gives the option to move an email is the email trigger, and that'll only let me move whichever email triggered the job. Is there not another email task that'll let me filter a folder for emails more than a month old, and move them to a different folder?
Thanks.
