The email module is used to store records for incoming and outgoing e-mails. Each record in the email table can be linked to the other main modules such as clients, campaigns and vendors. At the point that I’m writing this manual, the email module is under developed, which I thought would be better than over developed.


There is a lot of potential in this module and chances are it will need to be customized for each business entities unique ways of working with email. This version of InBizness SOHO uses the FileMaker Send Mail script step to send out e-mails and does not support any automatic way to store incoming e-mails. There are third party products that enable FileMaker to automatically accept incoming email messages and can send email messages without the use of compatible mail programs. Since InBizness SOHO is a FileMaker product, InBizness SOHO is compatible with these products as well. Future versions of this product will likely utilize some form of additional technology to better handle incoming and outgoing email products. You don’t have to wait for that however, you can build your own threading system using your accomplished FileMaker design skills.
