With a little modifications it actually compiled and it has how to handle commands !!! Well, it needs a lot of work to get it done for IMAP indeed.

It will not really help with IMAP4 which is a much more complex protocol than POP3, with database type requirements on the server, so it knows what has been download and not, etc. > The only puzzle for me is how to get and handle the commands from the > server. Client/server commands are simple stuff, you can use the ICS SocketServer component or my TMagIpLog component which allows you to send and receive text commands. Both handle SSL which the old POP3 component does not. https://www.magsys.co.uk/delphi/magics.asp Both POP3 and IMAP4 need a message store and database to it, to actually save all the messages and selectively retrieve them, in the simplest case one file per message. When I updated an old SMTP server to become the current ICS SMTP Server I had planned to do POP3 as well, since both are needed for a real mail server, but never found the spare time.
