General
Program Name - MBSREAD
Text File - mbstext
Function - This program is designed to automatically import Sales Orders and Quotes from emailed files using the logic from the Questware Import process. A new email account will need to be set up by the customer's email provider. The name of the email does not matter, but the account will need to be able to send emails through SMTP and connect through IMAP. The program will log in to the email account and check for new files every 30 seconds. If the proper files are found, the program will attempt to create an order. It will then send a confirmation email back to original sender letting them know if the import was successful, or explaining why it failed.
Text File Setup
This should be set up the same way the Inboxtext and Poptext files are set up, using the credentials for the new email account that is required for this program to run.
