Details

Here is an example of using the emailStoreMessageId step.

emailStoreMessageId
<property name="testaddressvalue="your_address@your.emailaddress.com"/>
...
<steps>
    <emailSetConfig .../>
    <emailStoreMessageId subject="mailtest - multifiles - plain"
            from="${testaddress}to="/${testaddress}/"
            replyto="/${testaddress}/cc="/${testaddress}/"
            property="mid1"/>
    <-- further email test steps using messageId #{mid1} -->
</steps>

Note that subject and the email address attributes (to, from, cc and replyTo) are used for matching purposes to select a subset of the available messages. Each can be either plain text (like subject and from in the above example) or a regular expression (like to, cc and replyTo in the above example). Simply start and end them with the "/" character to make them a regular expression. If all of these are left blank, all messages will be selected (and you can use messageIndex to select a particular message if you know its position). In addition, to, cc and replyTo may contain a comma (",") separated list of email addresses. Each address must appear in an email message for it to match - order is not important.
