Configure the Email Link
The email link settings specify the storage format of messages, the document types assigned to them, and the Meridian properties that are set when messages are imported. These settings are applied when messages are imported with the email link tools and by drag-and-drop.
Mapping message properties that might contain illegal characters to Meridian properties that are used in a Field-Path definition can produce undesirable results and errors. For example, the Subject property of messages that are replies (RE:) or forwarded (FW:) can contain the colon (:) character, which is not allowed in folder names. We recommend only mapping those properties that will reliably contain legal characters to properties that are used in a Field-Path definition.
To configure the email link settings:
-
In Configurator, expand Environment in the configuration tree and select Application Link Settings.
The settings for each application link appear in property pages in the right pane.
-
Click the Email Settings tab.
The email link's settings page appears in the right pane.
-
Click Edit.
To configure the settings in the other sections, see Configure the Office Link.
To export the settings file to your computer, click the Export button. This can be useful if you want to edit the file in another text editor. You can then copy your changes to the Clipboard and paste them into Configurator.
-
Modify the settings described in the following table as necessary.
Refer to the comments in the property page for additional information. You can find the names of property sets and properties on the Properties page of each document type, as described in Create And Edit Document Types.
In the property mappings configuration, each property can only be mapped once in each section or errors will result.
-
Click OK.
-
Test the link thoroughly by importing messages and attachments with the Meridian client applications as described in Store Outlook Messages and Attachments and Export Lotus Notes Messages and Attachments.
