I agree that the 4D Internet Commands require some serious renovations...

Betreff: POP3 Email Processing

Hi folks,

After many years using OTRS for our help ticketing and change control we have 
recently decided to roll our own 4D based solution.  This is partly a cost 
thing; partly a support/functionality thing and partly to get our teeth into a 
project where we can get used to the latest version of 4D while we wait for v17 
R3 :-).

The core of a system like this is reading in Email messages.  I have done 
simple parsing of emails in the past (long past) but looking at it now I was 
surprised at how little the internet commands actually do for you before you 
have to get down and dirty with loads of parsing.

Essentially we need to create a HTML file with the email body and inline 
images.  Plus all the attachments; recipients; subject; dates and other info.

We are looking at using a 3rd party product called "EAGetMail POP3/IMAP4 
Component” - https://www.emailarchitect.net/eagetmail 
<https://www.emailarchitect.net/eagetmail> to do all the heavy lifting.  Before 
I go ahead and purchase this is does anyone else have any other ideas or 
options?

Regards,  Dougie
