Id Type

The type of identifier used to specify the account:

  • Principal name: the name in the format user_name@domain.

  • SID: security identifier. It can be retrieved using these command-line arguments:

    • Current user: whoami /user

    • All users: wmic useraccount get name,sid.

      This option is only available to the domain administrator.

  • SMTP Address: an email address (this is most often the same as the principal name above)

Id The Id used depending on the type specified above.
Start folder

A filter to display only specific folder(s) during configuration.

If the mail profile has a lot of folders, it can take time during configuration to see the entire list. By specifying a filter here using the names of the desired folders, only those folders need be displayed in the configuration dialogs for this EWS configuration.

Example:

Specifying Inbox/* would only display all sub-folders to the Inbox root folder for the specified account (eliminating the need to browse through all public/global folders that may be accessible from this account).

This is only used during this configuration task while the ReadSoft Collector folders are being specified.

Connect Tests the connection using the settings specified above.
Folders
Source folder Where Interpret retrieves files from.
Working folder Where files are kept temporarily during processing for safe handling.
Processed folder Where successfully processed files are put.
Error folder Where processed files with errors are put.

  • Click an item in the folder list to access any potential sub-folders (a + sign is added to the list entry if sub-folders are present).
  • Click the plus sign (+) next to a folder in the list to display sub-folders.
  • You can create new folders by right-clicking a folder in the list and selecting Create folder .
