SMTP Mail server to IDOC scenario

Hello Guys,

I have a requirement to receive emails from the SMTP mail server and detach the attachment to process across to ECC in the form of IDOC.

I am unable to resolve my very first step of fetching emails from the SMTP server from all the research I have done on SCN. I found that Sender Email channel just supports POP3 and IMAP4 transport protocol.

However in one of the SAP notes as per the screenshot below, it seems as if its possible.

Please can anyone tell me the exact configurations if its is possible to configure a Sender EMAIL SMTP channel.

Thank you!

Regards,

Simran
