PowerTCP Mail for ActiveX

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.
