Using Inbox Pages and Mail Pages

Inbox Pages

Inbox Pages are a lot like Folder Pages, but they can only contain one kind of Principal Item: Mail Pages. In addition, each Inbox Page has a unique email address. If you send mail to that address, eRoom automatically converts the incoming mail into a Mail Page object in the Inbox Page.

The IERUInboxPage interface provides access to the features unique to Inbox Pages. Its Description property lets you manipulate the rich text description for the page. The ShowAttachments and ShowTopic properties control whether the attachments box and the embedded topic for the page appear in the user interface. Its EmailAddress property returns the address to use when sending mail to the page.

Like Folder Pages, Inbox Pages can be configured with routing information using the IERURoutingSource interface. See Routing Items for more information.

Mail Pages

The eRoom user interface does not provide a way to create a Mail Page directly, but you can create one through SAAPI by calling the CreateMailPage method in IERUContainer. Note that Mail Pages can be created in other containers besides Inbox Pages.

You use the IERUMailPage interface to work with Mail Pages. The ShowAttachments and ShowTopic properties control whether the item box and the embedded topic for the page appear in the user interface. The Sender property returns the name of the sender of the mail.
