Introduction

Email Capture in Globodox, downloads email messages from any POP3 mail server and adds them to Globodox.This module will automatically extract fields (To:, From; Subject etc.) from the email message and enter them in Globodox. This makes all email messages immediately searchable.

Globodox Email Capture runs as a Windows service and can download messages and add them to Globodox even when Globodox is not running.

In simple words you can automatically download and add to Globodox, incoming messages from your Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, MSN or any other email account. Email capture can work with multiple email accounts. This means that you can archive emails from all your different emails accounts at a single place. So you do not need to login to your email account when you need to refer to an email. You can search and retrieve quickly from Globodox.

To setup Email Capture, you will require the POP3 settings that are supplied by your email provider. You may also have to enable the POP3 feature for the email account. You can do this by logging into your email account (for e.g. Gmail) and enabling it in the Settings section.
