RE: Read Gmail from iSeries

We did that here also but just to try and real with bounced emails. We send lots of emails from the iSeries and bounces return to Exchange. The Exchange account was setup to forward to the iSeries SMTP server which just dropped it into a mail folder in the IFS. We scan that folder nightly for emails and parse the body for the email it was sent to and attempted to see the reason. No nasty attachments to deal with.

He probably set things up to forward the emails from the ISP to an account on the AS/400. We've done that in the past too.

The problem there is you'll likely end up with the raw MIME files instead of the message (in text and/or html format), attachments, images, etc all split up nicely to work with. Splitting those up is no fun...

Re: Read Gmail from iSeries

I can't use a POP/SMTP type configuration as OUTLOOK would be

configured?

You should be able to do that. Our system administrator did this years
ago to retrieve e-mail from our ISP. It was back when we only had a
dial-up Internet account. I don't have any of the details how he did
it, but it should be available. But he had the AS/400 (yes, it was an
AS/400 back at the time) retrieve the e-mail for our account. He was
trying to set it up to read through the retrieved message and forward
it to the appropriate person. I think we got a better service before
he ever completed the forwarding part, but he had the AS/400
retrieving the mail from the ISP using POP.
