PowerTCP Mail for ActiveX Features

Pop ActiveX Control

The Pop control downloads Internet email messages from any POP3 server. Features include:

  • Explicit and Implicit SSL Security.
  • Message object collection represents all messages on the server. Retrieve a single message, all messages, or a range of messages.
  • Retrieve entire messages, message headers only, or a specified number of message lines.
  • Memory-based message retrieval makes this product perfect for ASP applications.
  • Powerful default operations are provided, including iteration through a message set to populate the Messages property.
  • 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.
  • Complies with RFC 1939, "Post Office Protocol - Version 3"
  • Detailed knowledge of POP3 is not required.

Code Example

How easy is the POP Control to use? Check out the VB example below which demonstrates how to retrieve all message headers from a POP server and displays data about each header.

 

Pop1.Timeout = 30000

' Login to the server
Pop1.Login "mail.test.com", "testuser", "testpassword"

' Only get the header of the messages
Pop1.Preview = 0

' Get all message headers
Pop1.Get msgPreview

' Iterate through the messages and display data
Dim msg As Message
For Each msg In Pop1.Messages
MsgBox "From: " & msg.From & " Subject: " & msg.Subject
Next

' Logout
Pop1.Logout
