Hello


Is it possible to start a workflow when a e-mail receives in a mailbox on a system without Sharepoint? I tried to get a connection to the Exchange and listen on a mailbox for incoming mails. But i don't have a idea how i can do that. Can someone give me a hint how i can do this?


Thanks

    You can build a service that monitors an inbox and creates new process instances whenever an e-mail shows up. I've had to do this for an Exchange server that uses IMAP mailboxes, and had to buy a 3rd party component in order to do it.

    Thanks for your help.


    But is there no Exchange Connector for K2 which can do this?

    What is the name of the software you purchased to do this through exchange?  Another option could be to assign a workflow action to an event in a sharepoint list and give the list an email address.  If the list receives a new email (or new list item for that matter), it will kick off the process.
