Hello,
I’m curious if Lotus 8.5 has the ability to redirect incoming email to an alternate location i.e. Somewhere on my C drive or perhaps a network drive location? Surely there should be a Lotus Script or VBscript out there that can automate this process?
I receive daily a report to a folder that I’ve created in my inbox called “Reports” and have set up a rule so that when this report arrives it’s placed in that folder automatically. In order to preserve these reports, I’d like to house them on a network server for safe keeping but would like this process automated i.e. Either through system functionality, Lotus Script or VBscript. Open for suggestions. Thanks.
Subject: several ways…
Yes, there are several ways you could do this, depending on what kind of access/control you have.
You could set up a database on a mapped drive (search admin help for Directory link), and set up a server mail rule to move certain messages to this database (“mail journal”).
You could use a journal or mail-in database on the server, and then use an agent, backup process, or batch file to create a copy of it on a scheduled basis.
If you just want the attachments, you can write a script that would detach the attachments to a location. You can run this in an agent “when new messages are received”, or an agent you run manually, depending on your needs.
