How to get attached files from an email, using Pentaho Kettle?

Question

I\'m stuck in a great problem. My task is to download some emails from a server using the IMAP protocol. This is accomplished by using the \"get mails (POP3 / IMAP)\" job en

Answer 1

I will explain the whole process so that anybody can get the advantage of it.

1) Add START and Get mails (POP3/IMAP) job entries, and create a hop between them.
2) Edit the Get mails entry to use your IMAP server (host name, port number, username, password, etc), and click Test Connection to verify settings.
3) In the Target folder, uncheck Save message content and check Get mail attachment and Different folder for attachment. Define a target folder for both the Target directory and Attachment files folder.
4) On the Settings tab, select the IMAP folder that you want to download from. Change other settings as desired.
5) Click OK, Save the Job, and Run the job.
