You can configure the
API Gateway
 to periodically poll an email server for SOAP messages to process. If a new message is found, it is retrieved from the server and processed.
An email listener can receive emails from either a POP3 server or an IMAP 4/IMAP4rev1 server and supports SSL encryption. Multiple email listeners may be configured at once. While the
API Gateway
 can process SOAP messages from email traffic, it cannot return a response.
Email listeners can use the internal trust store for trusting email server certificates when using SSL. If the certificate is signed by a root signing authority, then it is trusted. If not, then you must import the certificate into the trust store and specify that the certificate is trusted for outbound SSL connections. For more information, see Add Certificate Wizard; in step 3, select the "Outbound SSL Connection" option.
