PowerTCP Mail for ActiveX Features

Imap ActiveX Control

The Imap control is used to download and manage email messages on IMAP4 servers. A local object model (mailboxes and messages are represented as objects) makes remote mail management easy, with no knowledge of IMAP4 commands required! Features include:

  • Intuitive object-based interface makes coding easy!
  • Supports Explicit and Implicit SSL security.
  • A collection of Mailbox objects represents each mailbox on the server.
  • Each Mailbox object has a collection of Message objects representing each message in the mailbox.
  • The Message object provides an object representation of any e-mail message. This formatting object supports easy manipulation of simple and complex (even nested) MIME messages.
  • Progress and State events enable easy user notification of message retrieval.
  • IDLE is supported.
  • Detailed knowledge of IMAP4 is not required.
  • Comes complete with extensive sample projects.

How easy is the IMAP Control to use? Check out the VB example below which demonstrates how to login and get all messages in a mailbox.

 

' Login to the IMAP server
Imap1.Login "imap.test.com", "user", "pass"

' Get all mailboxes
Imap1.Refresh

' Imap1.Mailboxes("INBOX").Count now contains the number of messages in the INBOX
