No matter how you go about it, you'll simply have to use a plug-in in order to get email direct from a server into your database. There are methods such as using a client to retrieve the email and then use AppleScript on the Macintosh to pull email from the client into a client copy of FileMaker Pro. I've never even tried VB Script (nor do I want to). The question, however, is "Why not pull the email right into FileMaker fields?". The answer to that question is "Sure, let's do that!". All you need is a freely available PHP class, the ever powerful PHP plug-in from Scodigo.com, and little bit of know how. Fortunately, this video is going to provide the know-how. Using the included technique file and a copy of the PHP plug-in, you'll be pulling email right into FileMaker in no time! What you do with it after that is up to you!
