Reliably collect documents arriving through Microsoft 365, Exchange, Gmail, IMAP, and POP3. Mail Attachment Downloader PRO Server filters, downloads, names, organizes, and routes email attachments into OCR, intelligent document processing, document management, ERP, database, and custom automation workflows. Use it for invoices, purchase orders, statements, claims, shipping documents, HR forms, reports, and more.
Collect invoice emails from Microsoft 365, Exchange, Gmail, IMAP, or POP3 and route only the documents your AP workflow needs.
Process shared AP addresses, vendor-specific inboxes, and departmental accounts from one installation.
Use sender, recipient, subject, body, date, attachment name, extension, size, and other criteria.
Run the software on a Windows system you manage and save directly to destinations you configure.
Download, rename, organize, and optionally preserve the source email before downstream software begins classification and extraction.
Pull invoice references, vendor identifiers, or other text from the subject or message body.
Give downstream software a clean and consistent location to monitor.
Invoices are sometimes contained in the message body, and the email itself may provide audit context.
GearMage handles email intake and file preparation. Your OCR, invoice-capture, DMS, ERP, or custom application can handle classification, metadata, approvals, and posting.
Use ODBC actions to write selected email or extracted values into database fields for tracking or downstream processing.
Trigger a batch file, executable, PowerShell script, or another process after a file is saved.
Many capture and document-management tools can import files from monitored folders or external file sources.
Keep incomplete or unexpected messages out of the normal invoice stream.
Mail Attachment Downloader complements the OCR, intelligent document processing, document-management, ECM, AP, and ERP systems you already use. It handles mailbox connectivity, filtering, naming, routing, retries, and unattended delivery so downstream platforms receive clean, predictable input.
“Most of my customers are using M-Files. We are using GearMage to integrate PDF files from a dedicated email address, then the files are indexed by ChronoScan and PDF plus metadata are pushed into M-Files.” — GearMage reseller describing a customer deployment
ChronoScan can watch folders for incoming PDFs or images and automatically run configured capture jobs.
M-Files can import or link files from external folders and can apply metadata to externally created documents.
DocuWare Import can monitor configured folders and transfer documents into a file cabinet using document-processing configurations.
ABBYY FlexiCapture supports automated document input from files, scanners, email content, and configured import profiles.
Tungsten Automation products such as TotalAgility and InvoiceAgility support document-heavy workflows, invoice extraction, validation, approvals, and downstream processing.
Laserfiche combines intelligent data capture, document management, records management, and workflow automation.
OpenText Capture provides OCR, AI-based classification, metadata extraction, and document capture for enterprise content workflows.
Capture platforms such as PSIGEN and Square 9 commonly support document import, OCR, indexing, workflow, and repository handoff.
UiPath Document Understanding can classify documents, extract data, validate results, and participate in robotic automation workflows.
The same architecture works with software that accepts files through a watched folder, import service, command line, database, API, RPA workflow, or custom connector.
A dedicated intake layer gives you independent control over mailbox authentication, filtering, retries, naming, retention, and routing.
ChronoScan and M-Files are referenced in a reseller-reported customer workflow. Other product names are examples of downstream software categories and possible customer-configured workflows. Except where explicitly stated by the respective vendors, these references do not imply a bundled connector, certification, endorsement, or commercial partnership. Compatibility depends on the downstream product edition and configuration.
Keep each layer focused on what it does best.
Connect AP mailboxes and filter invoice-related messages
Download, rename, organize, preserve, and route attachments
ChronoScan, ABBYY, DocuWare, or another capture system processes the document
M-Files, a DMS, ERP, database, or custom application receives the result
Use the systems you already trust for OCR, classification, metadata, records management, workflow, approvals, and ERP posting—while GearMage handles mailbox ingestion and routing.
