The POP library is mine and it's listed on VersionTracker as well as on my web site which is a member of the RunRev web ring.There's a POP library available -- does it not also handle POP3?
I'm sure it will - but I couldn't find a POP library. (so it's either not in the standard package, or it's not well documented, or it's not in a "well organized add-on").
What's VersionTracker ? (or do I mean, where's VersionTracker ?) Obviously, I didn't look there ...
(I just googled for it, and found www.versiontracker.com - but a Search on that site for "revolution pop3" finds nothing, so I'm not sure if that's the right place or not).
Googling for "Runtime Revolution POP3 library" shows it as the first entry.
But googling for "Revolution pop3" (which is what I did), doesn't find your page at all (at least not in the first 3 or 4 pages of results). It does find mention of Shao Sean's SMTP and POP3 stacks, but I couldn't track them down; one email implies they are (or were) on the runrev site, but if they are, they're well tucked away).
It is not part of the standard package but it is a well-documented library and I hope you will find it is well organized.
Sounds like I said it badly .... I hadn't found your library, and was not saying that it was badly documented. What I was saying was that:
either
- it's not in the standard package
or
- it's in the standard package and not well documented
and also
- it's not in any well-organized place.
(i.e. there is no single, central place to go look for runrev add-ons, nothing comparable to CPAN or even www.python.org or sourceforge).
I don't think that professional development tools should require a user to find (standards based) libraries by going through the Web Ring and searching individuals' sites. I'd expect RunRev to create a central place to find these (probably an index, with pointers to the individual websites). I think "User Resources" on the runrev site should be that (actually, I thought for a while that it was ....)
BTW, in answer to Richard's query, it has only been tested with POP3. I haven't come across any servers using earlier versions of the POP protocol, so I don't know how compatible it would be with them.
No, I doubt if there's such a thing left in the world :-)
