Running i!-EquipmentMonitor

i!-EquipmentMonitor
Pop3SetServer ('mail.mydomain.com')
Or
Pop3SetServer ('192.168.12.175')
Next, you need to setup the user and password for the email account you will be retrieving email
from. Your email administrator should supply you with a user name and password for an email
account that can receive email. Once you have these, call
Pop3SetUser()
and supply these values
like this:
Pop3SetRefresh(300,1) // How often the check email server in
Seconds and should I delete?
Supplying a refresh time of 0 seconds disables automatic email retrieval. If you decide you want to
retrieve email manually, all you need to do is call
Pop3GetEmail()
.
Pop3GetEmail()
takes 1
parameter: a flag (1 or 0) indicating if you want email deleted from the server. You can call
Pop3GetEmail()
even if you have setup for automatic email retrieval to force email to be retrieve.
You might supply the user with a button to force email to be retrieved like this:
BUTTON_EVENT[dvPanel,6]
{
PUSH:
Pop3GetEmail(0);
}
You can check for the email to arrive by waiting for the offline message from the
dvPop3Socket
device. i!-EquipmentMonitor makes the emails available to you in three different variables:
sPop3EmailMessage
,
nPop3QtyMail
and
nPop3TotalMail
.
nPop3QtyMail
and
nPop3TotalMail
tell you how many email messages were retrieved (up to
POP3_MAX_EMAILS
,
default = 20) and how many emails were on the server when i!-EquipmentMonitor last logged in.
Up to
POP3_MAX_EMAILS
are downloaded and all other emails, if any, remain on the server until
you retrieve them again.
sPop3EmailMessage
is an array of structures containing the actual emails. The structure contains
the following items:
The subject and body are the items you need most in the structure. The count of file attachments
tells you the total number of files attached but the

POP3_ATTACH_MAX
(default is 5) file names. The attached files are not saved. Only the file names
are supplied for reference.
