Why not just use Send Mail?
FileMaker's built-in Send Mail step hands a message to the desktop mail client and stops there. The Email plugin sends, receives, and parses mail itself — from a script step, on the client or the server.
- Receive and parse mail from POP and IMAP mailboxes
- Attach multiple files and inline images in one message
- Send multipart, HTML-formatted email
- Reuse one server connection to send many messages fast
- Set custom email headers
It runs on the server, too.
An Enterprise license puts the Email plugin on FileMaker Server, so the same scripts that send from a workstation run unattended in production.
- Run server-side with scheduled scripts and Perform Script on Server
- Drive Web Publishing solutions from the same scripts
- Assign message IDs to build custom email clients
What customers say about Email Plugin.
“We have just upgraded all primary RCC servers to the latest Zulu and Email plugin versions. They are FAST and they work WELL.”
“I wanted to publicly thank Sam Barnum for OUTSTANDING customer support. I needed inline graphics in outgoing 'blast' emails for a client; we use 360Works' Email plug-in for its ability to run server-side. Sam responded immediately, offered to add it to the plug-in, and built it for me in very short order… THANK YOU SAM, and thank you 360Works.”
“I did a very complex project retrieving PDF attachments from emails and parsing them with Email and Scribe, and it went very well; 360Works is the first place I look for a plug-in. You'll be pleased to know your products saw production use in the human-trial phase of a new cancer medication, coalescing data from multiple clinical partners for FDA reporting.”

System Requirements
All of our products are supported on Mac, Windows, and Linux — system requirements are the same as those of FileMaker.
Common questions.
360Works plugins are compatible with the FileMaker 16 platform and higher.
All of our plugins are designed to run on Mac and on Windows. All system requirements are the same as those of FileMaker. As long as you meet FileMaker's minimum requirements, you can run our plugins. Please reference the FileMaker operating system requirements for all versions.
Our plugins are supported in FileMaker Cloud 1.17 and 1.18, but FileMaker Cloud 2 does not support any plugins. You can still use the plugins in FileMaker Pro accessing a solution hosted on FileMaker Cloud 2, but server side scripts utilizing plugins will not work.
If you purchase the Enterprise License (see the pricing above), then you will be able to use the plugin with the FileMaker Web Publishing Engine. This means that when you use our plugins in your FileMaker scripts, they will work the same way with Instant Web Publishing (IWP) or WebDirect. It also means that your Custom Web Publishing applications (with XSLT, PHP, or any other web technology) can call FileMaker scripts that use our plugins.
Yes, all of our plugins work in FileMaker runtime solutions, just copy the plugin to the runtime's Extensions folder.
Most of our plugins are available in 3 licenses: a demo version which works for 2 hours every time you launch FileMaker, a Workgroup license for 10 or fewer users, and an Enterprise license for unlimited users within a single organization.
If you'd like to add plugin functionality to a mobile solution, there are a number of options available. Plugins cannot be installed directly on a iPhone or iPad, but you can trigger a script on a machine that does have the plug-in installed. Using FileMaker Server, you can have routine scripts that will process all the outstanding function calls. For an example on how to do this, see this article on accomplishing this with Plastic. Alternatively you could integrate RemoteScripter to trigger server side scripts.
