POP3_A_B_C_D_E_F.tmp

When the driver is used to retrieve a message from a POP3 server, it creates a file to store the incoming message with the naming convention POP3_A_B_C_D_E_F.tmp where:

• A is the process ID of the application that loads the driver.

• B is the Siebel Communications API handle of the driver.

• C is the Siebel Communications API handle of the service.

• D is the time when the service that received the message is created.

• E is the number of messages that are received during the current POP3 session.

• F is the number of milliseconds that elapsed since the application was started.

This file is the MIME message that is retrieved from the POP3 server. This file stores the incoming message and is always created in the bin/incoming directory unless you specify the Incoming Email Directory profile parameter. If the Delete Processed Messages profile parameter is False, then these messages are moved to the bin/processed directory after they are processed, otherwise they are deleted.

After a MIME message is downloaded to the bin/incoming directory, it is parsed and the results are usually passed to the Communications Inbound Receiver. This file is not reprocessed when the Communications Inbound Receiver is restarted. Therefore, if an application failure occurs, then one or more of these files might be placed in the bin/incoming directory. You can delete these files without consequence. The messages that the POP3_A_B_C_D_E_F.tmp files represent are re-retrieved and not lost.
