Download | Purchase Update

The user interface has been slightly revised.
The performance of the database functions has been optimized.
An alternate processing mode has been added.

Messages that have already been processed will not be processed again until you reset them.
For this purpose, the history of the processed messages is stored in the internal database.
Alternate processing mode:

All messages in the source folder will be processed, whether or not they have already been processed.
No history of processed messages is stored in the internal database.

01-SEP-2021 Version 5.3

Download | Purchase Update

Service release
Fixes a problem which can lead to the program not starting when the ODBC driver is repaired.

02-MAR-2021 Version 5.2

Download | Purchase Update

This update gives you more control over the ODBC driver (MS Access Database Engine) to be used.
The setup checks if a valid ODBC driver for *.accdb is already present on your system.
The installation of the "Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010" is enabled (by default) if no valid ODBC driver was found.
In the "Settings" section, additional setting options for the "MS Access Database Engine (32bit)" have been added.
Here you can choose whether the "Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010" should be repaired/enforced automatically or not.

21-AUG-2020 Version 5.1

Download | Purchase Update

Fixes a problem in which the field relationship was lost if the database connection failed during the data type query.
If a field is nullable and the email does not contain any data for the field, NULL is now entered instead of an empty value/content.
The change affects the following data types:
Text    >> Old: Empty string New: NULL (If the field is not nullable, it is (as before): Empty string)
Date    >> Old: 1900-01-01    New: NULL (If the field is not nullable, it is either: 1970-01-01 or 0000-00-00)
Time    >> Old: 00:00:00      New: NULL (If the field is not nullable, it is (as before): 00:00:00)
Binary >> Old: Empty binary New: NULL (If the field is not nullable, it is (as before): Empty binary)
We recommend to verify and test all data connections after installing the update!
In the new version, in addition to saving an email attachment in the database, it is also possible to save an email attachment on the local computer or network. To activate the storage of an attachment you only have to select the "Insert Mode": "Attachment (x) Save to Disc and insert Path". This writes the storage path in the selected database field and at the same time activates the storage of the attachment on the drive.
The sections "Attachment Settings" and "Attachment Processing" were added to the data connection settings.

30-JUN-2020 Version 5.0

Download | Purchase Update

The new version lets you specify the "IMAP Source Folder", if you want to process a different folder than the default "Inbox".
The program can now process up to 30 file attachments within an email.
Adds "Reply-To" to header fields.
Adds "Header-From-Domain" to header fields.
Multi-line fields now use \r\n instead of \n to show the line-breaks correctly in MS Access.
The update to version 5 should be fully backwards compatible, but we recommend to verify all data connections after installing the update.

28-FEB-2020 Version 4.6.1

Download | Purchase Update

The loading speed of the program and the section "Connections" been significantly improved.

10-DEC-2019 Version 4.6

Download | Purchase Update

Adds "Source Section Heading" to each field "Edit Releationship". The new function helps with ambiguous, duplicate field names. Everything above the heading is ignored in the source email, allowing the second (duplicate) field name to be selected. Only enter a heading if the source email contains duplicate field names in different sections. If the heading is not found, the field will not be processed.
The update should not affect your existing connections, but we recommend to verify all data connections after installing the update.

25-JUN-2019 Version 4.5
