Problem with downloading attachments from mail using biztalk pop3 adapter

Hi All,

I have created a POP3 adapter in BizTalk to download pdf attachments from a mail Id. I used  application/pdf as Content type and configured the POP3 receive ports and its working fine in normal scenarios.

But, sometimes in the MIME message the content type application/pdf is missing even if there are pdf attachments in the mail.

So I am not able to download the attachments. When I remove the content-type (application/pdf) from POP3 port, BizTalk is taking the body part of the mail.

Help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Haris

What I have tried:

I tried using content-type = "application/pdf", its working fine with mails having the same content-type.
But I'm getting mails without this content type from the mail, and MIME error is thrown.
So, I tried without any content type in the POP3 configuration, but then the mail body part is picked as BizTalk message part, not the pdf attachment.

Hi,

Currently i am working on POP3 adapter. I am using excel file attachment to download the attachment to a file folder.

Step 1: Make the Multipart message which contain body and Attachment in the Orchestration
Step 2: Make the receive location pipeline as passthro
step 3: Construct the Destination message as the Multipartmessage.Attachment.
Step 4: Sendport will have the file extension of .pdf

Try this option, it should work.
