I think I'm making progress with this...
Here's what seems will work:
A) Use a third-party COM component that can interface with a POP3 server
(like IMail!) to retrieve email. I'm evaluating the Power-Web component from
http://asp.imeca.co.kr/products/pop3.htm
B) Manage IMail user accounts by using ADO.
So far, item #A is going well and I'm starting on #B. My questions:
1) Does anyone know of a good *free* POP3 COM component?
2) Can anyone recommend a good, reliable, proven POP3 COM component?
Cheers!
