Never thought of that solution for me. However can this also be done
with other email clients?
I am presently writing for me, however I have no idea what or where the
user would store such files.
I'm not trying to download the email from inside fox, rather I am just
trying to read the contents of the inbox, looking for a certain subject
email to process.
Thank you,
Mike

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.
Is this for your own use, on your own machine, or a general problem you're
trying to solve for a client app?
What problem is it that you are trying to solve?
You can read the thunderbird email stores off disk. They are in a
well-documented text format.
This gets you out of the business of trying to keep up with different
authentication methods, ports and settings in a database language instead
of a mail client.
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?
SMTP is simpler, better documented, and less prone to error than
CDO/MAPI. ("SMTP Good, MAPI Bad") But that is sending-only.
Strange as is seems, sending and receiving (POP3, IMAP4) are completely
different protocols. See:
http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~AutomatedEmail~Wiki
and
http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~GetPopEmail
VFP and its runtime are really not suitable for internet communications; no
threads, poorly managed timeouts, etc. It's a lot better to use a tool
designed for the purpose, imo.
