Specify if a connection to the server is secure.
Syntax
object.Secure [= { True | False } ]
Remarks
The Secure property determines if a secure connection is
established to the server. The default value for this property is
False, which specifies that a standard connection to the server is
used. To establish a secure connection, the application must set this
property value to True prior to calling the Connect method.
Once the connection has been established, the client may retrieve
messages from the server as with standard connections.
It is strongly recommended that any application that sets this
property to True use error handling to trap any errors that may
occur. If the control is unable to initialize the security libraries,
or otherwise cannot create a secure session for the client, an error
will be generated when this property value is set.
Data Type
Boolean
Example
The following example establishes a secure connection to a server
and retrieves a message:
InternetMail1.ServerType = mailServerPop3
InternetMail1.ServerName = strServerName
InternetMail1.UserName = strUserName
InternetMail1.Password = strPassword
InternetMail1.Secure = True
nError = InternetMail1.Connect()
If nError > 0 Then
MsgBox "Unable to connect to server " & strServerName, vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
If InternetMail1.CertificateStatus <> mailCertificateValid Then
nResult = MsgBox("The server certificate could not be validated" & vbCrLf & _
"Are you sure you wish to continue?", vbYesNo)
If nResult = vbNo Then
InternetMail1.Disconnect
Exit Sub
End If
End If
nError = InternetMail1.GetMessage(1)
If nError > 0 Then
InternetMail1.Disconnect
MsgBox "Unable to retrieve message from server " & strServerName
Exit Sub
End If
InternetMail1.Disconnect
