Message Processing

After configuring the above settings, the Print by Mail feature immediately reads all messages on the defined email server. Each email will be checked for attachments. Each attachment will be processed, and the email will be deleted from the email server after processing.

If IMAP is enabled, new messages are processed when they are received. If POP3, Gmail or Exchange EWS is enabled, the email server will be polled on the defined interval. After processing new messages, they are deleted from the email server.

For each email received by the MIE server, a return email is sent to the user to indicate success/failure.  The email indicates what attachments were printed and any that failed to print.
