How can we update a database using the Download Mail plugin?

Our database fields are:

FirstName
LastName
JobID
JobStatus

We can format the email sent to the plugin with tab, colon, or comma delimited text if needed.

Thank you,

Chris

Hi Chris,

When you activate the downloadMail plugin, it creates a new CMS Section for you called Incoming Mail which has the following fields:
- From
- To
- Subject
- Text
- HTML
- Attachments
- Account
- Headers
- Errors

Once the information is in that table, you can manipulate it however you like. If you are looking for things like FirstName, LastName, etc, you'll need to parse that out of the downloaded message.

If you want to download the messages into a different table, you can go into your downloadMail.php file and change the downloadMail_addRecord function. (Note: only do this if you're comfortable with PHP).

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, let me know.
