Here's the issue...
If you need to do inbound processing, then you need a way to retrieve
email from a given inbox. Oracle Workflow does that using it's
internal IMAP client. Where that inbox is is another story. If you
can route email (from the outside world) to a unix box, you could
start up an "IMAPd" daemon process on that unix box to facilitate
this. However, since many corporations are using Microsoft Exchange
as their "Mail Exchange" they tend to find it very difficult to route
"internet" email to a specific box that isn't the Exchange server.
The simplest solution is:
1) Have them start up an IMAP service on the Exchange server.
2) Create a mailbox on the Exchange server to receive the emails
3) Configure Workflow to retrieve emails from that mailbox.
Now, if you don't need to do inbound processing, then, yes. Put a "0"
in Inbound Threads and you can disable it.
