POP3 Client

[A.M]

Hi,

Is there any open source POP3 client to help me check my emails?
I am also loking for a SMTP client to replace CDO.

Thanks,
Alan

Re: POP3 Client

Hi,

I don't know of any pop3 component, but I'm 100% sure you can find one.
regarding SMTP you can use the Mail class , if you have a smtp server that
may handle your email, if not look in the archives as somebody posted a
while ago of a smtp component that send the email directly to the rcpt


cheers,

Re: POP3 Client

Granted, the .net classes called the lightweight CDO object, but I don't
quite know why you'd need to replace that one... it's not the same as the
MAPI CDO class that we used to use a couple of years ago.

As for an open source POP3 client...
perhaps this article will help

I would recommend, however, a commercial component.
Saving a few bucks by reinventing the wheel doesn't make a lot of sense.

Good Luck,

It still requires CDO to be installed though, which it may not be on
all boxes. There are various other limitations to the built-in one,
too.

Nor does spending money when there are high quality open source
components available, though :)

Re: POP3 Client


SMTP and POP3 components are not complicated and Commercial components for
SMTP and POP3 are over priced.
I think open source solutions are preferable solution for most TCP/IP
components.
