Get Email Count
Activity checks the inbox of an indicated address and returns the number of emails as Emails Count.
To use the activity fill in the correct Login/Sender Email and Password for the email you want to access, as well as Protocol, Encryption method, Server Address and Port according to the email server’s settings.
Fill in Special Folders to access other mailbox folder than default inbox (see more information below)
To access a shared mailbox, provide the name in the Malibox Name field in addition to logging in with regular credentials.
Special Folders
Only messages in Inbox are counted by default.
To count messages in other (custom or default) folders provide folder name(s).
The folder names are case sensitive. For nested folders, access them as "My Folder/My Subfolder"
NOTE: Default mailbox folders can have different display names depending on language and email provider, but will need to be accessed with following keywords:
-
-
-
- "Sent" - outgoing mail
- "Drafts" - unfinished messages
- "Junk" - spam, unwanted messages
- "Trash" - deleted mail
