10. Get email Folder List: Click Get email folder list button to get the list of folders from your mail server.

11. Email Folder to watch: POP type Mail Server will only process items available in Inbox folder.

 

12. Choose Folder: Once the emails from Inbox folder are processed those will be deleted from the Inbox and there is no way to get those emails back. So PaperSave forces you to take backup of processed emails and save those emails into file folder on your drop point processing machine. Click Chooser Folder button and select the desired folder to save the processed emails.

 

Note:

Please make sure that you create different Backup folders for different Drop Points.
Please make sure that setting for POP mail server for any Email Service Provider is set as "Delete email copy from Inbox", else it will process the same email continuously even though once processed.
Incase of PaperSaveCloudTM, physical folders cannot be created, so you will not be able to view this input field.

 

13. Forwarding Email Address: Forwarding Email Address field allows you to enter the Email ID to which you would like to forward the processed emails.

 

Note:

Incase of PaperSaveCloudTM, there is no way to create physical folders and save the processed emails as a backup in your local drive. We highly recommend you to provide the forwarding email address in the above field, so that the processed emails can be forwarded to this email address as a backup.

 

14. Enable Profile Field Template: If this option is selected then Profile Field Template set from here would be automatically filled in while the items are processed by DropPoint Processing Service. You can import/export Profile Field template values only if this option is selected.
