POP3 integration

POP3 is supported through the Mach5 connector framework. This page lists every supported operation and where it can be used.

Connection

Integration connection picker

  • Connector kind: pop3
  • Configuration: host, optional port, tls, username, password_secret_ref, and max_message_bytes.

How to use this integration

For Axon concepts, safety classes, idempotency, and outcomes, see Axon workflows.

Axon

Axon is the controlled action path for connector reads, enrichments, and side effects. Use Axon when a workflow needs to call POP3 directly, enrich an investigation, or take an approved action. Invoke the connector kind pop3 with the operation name and JSON input.

connector: pop3
operation: list_messages
input: { ... }

Ingest Pipelines

Use ingest pipelines for operations exposed as sources. These operations can checkpoint and stream records into Mach5-managed data.

source.connector: pop3
source.operation: mailbox_source
source.config: { ... }

SQL

Use SQL for read operations exposed as table or scalar functions. Query the connector operation with JSON input and join the result with Mach5 data.

SELECT *
FROM connector_table('pop3', 'list_messages', JSON '{}');
