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.
