Thanks for the info on the send part. However, I'm more interested in
reading email messages. Do you have any ideas for that?
Mike
Mike,
I use the mswinsck.ocx that comes with VFP9 to connect and receive
email via IMAP. Works great.
Some code at the top of a page on FoxWiki helped

As I said, I'm using it for IMAP connections, not POP. IMAP is a bit
different, but not that tough to use. The reason I needed IMAP was to
be able to connect using SSL authentication. The main difference in
IMAP is that you have to send control instructions to the server to
manage the messages...it's more like managing a data backend ("What
messages do I have?", "Send me a list", or "Send me message 4 and
delete message 3") whereas POP is more of a "...login, get everything,
disconnect, process lump of data" procedure.
An alternative, although I haven't tried it, is a VFP software package at

You'll probably want to use Google Chrome to get auto-translation from
Argentinian. It claims to do POP and has VFP sample code.

Hi, I'd like to be able to reliably read emails from Foxpro.
I am using thunderbird email client and have a number of accounts.
I have two that use IMAP and one that is still POP3.
I would like to be able to read email messages from any of them, but
most importantly the POP acct. (Which is at yahoo.ca)
Sending via CDO is easy, can I receive with CDO? Or is there a better
way?
Lost,
Mike
