Writing/using message loops is not specific to Delphi but to Windows applications. Wilfried ment that you may use method Pop3Cli.CtrlSocket.Messageloop instead of writing your own message pump. > From the > Pop3prot.hpp MultiThreaded is a protected bool of TSyncPop3Cli >, which > is inherited from TPop3Cli. Should I use TSyncPop3Cli instead?

There's no difference between running the component in main thread or in a worker thread given you process messages by some kind of message loop. Delphi's class TThread does not implement such a message loop by default . Think asynchrone, call Connect and the take any further action in the various event handlers. --- Arno Garrels [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html > > > >> -- >> To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list >> please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket >> Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
