Use When	Data needs read from an Email message
Samples
Description	The Email Reader is used to connect to an email account to read data from the message or save any attachments. The Email Reader processes through a list of email messages in a chosen mailbox and forwards the message content as a TextMessage to downstream components, values such as the sender email address, subject line, send and receive date are included with the message as header parameters (email.from; email.subject; email.sent.date; email.received.date). Attachments can also be saved in a defined folder. The searched emails can include all emails in the folder or filtered from a particular email address and/or that contain a specific subject as well as it can look for only emails that are un-read. Once an email is found that matches the criteria it is marked as read and is processed. If an email does not match the criteria it will be left un-read unless the option to mark all messages as read is checked. Once emails are processed there is an option to move these emails to another folder in your mailbox.
