To Deliver BCC e-mails from a catch all account using Native POP3Beamer the first thing that we need to do is to determine the e-mail delivery method that your ISP uses for BCC e-mail.
Open an undelivered e-mail in Outlook (or your favourite e-mail client like Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Eudora, KMail, Mail, Enourage, etc.) and view the header details.
To view the header details in Outlook 2003 and below you will need to open the e-mail, click on “View” and then “Options”. To view the e-mail header in Outlook 2007 right click on the e-mail and click on “Message Options”. You will then be able to see the “Internet Headers” text box in the dialog box that opens.
In the “Internet Headers” text box look for one of the following :
- Apparently-To:
- Delivered-To:
- Envelope-to:
- Resent-To:
- X-RCPT-TO:
You should be able to see the text we are looking for in the e-mail header information without needing to scroll down as it should be near the top of the e-mail header information.
After you have found which delivery method your ISP uses highlight and copy the text, without the : at the end. We are using Google for our catch all account, and it uses the “Delivered-To” option for BCC delivery.
We now need to paste the text that we copied above onto the “Additional mail headers to search recipients in” box in the Native POP3 Connector properties for the e-mail box we are retrieving from. You do this by opening up the connector properties, click on the “Recipients” tab and click the “Add…” button in the “Additional mail headers to search recipients in” section.
After you have added the required header information then click on OK. You may be prompted to restart your service, so go ahead and do that and then Native POP3 Connector should be able to process BCC e-mails sent to a catchall e-mail account.
