Get Rmails from POP
Description
Get Emails from POP retrieves email messages and their attachments from a POP3 or IMAP mail server and saves them to local files. Use this process entry when your process needs to ingest email-based data — for example, downloading reports sent by email, collecting invoice attachments from a mailbox, or monitoring a support queue for incoming requests. The downloaded files can then be processed by subsequent workflows in the process.
