Overview
The Post Office Protocol (POP3) provides access to a user's new
email messages on a mail server. Methods are provided for listing
available messages and then retrieving those messages, storing them
either in files or in memory. Once a user's messages have been
downloaded to the local system, they are typically removed from the
server. This is the most popular email protocol used by Internet
Service Providers (ISPs) and the control provides a complete
interface for managing a user's mailbox. This control is typically
used in conjunction with the Mail Message control, which is used to
process the messages that are retrieved from the server.
This control supports secure connections using the standard SSL
and TLS protocols. Both implicit and explicit SSL connections can be
established, enabling the control to work with a wide variety of
servers.
Requirements
The SocketTools ActiveX Edition components are self-registering
controls compatible with any programming language that supports COM
(Component Object Model) and the ActiveX control specification. If
you are using Visual Basic 6.0 you must have Service Pack 6 (SP6)
installed. It is recommended that you install all updates for your
development tools.
This control is supported on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and
later versions of the desktop and server platforms. If you are using
Windows 7, you must have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed as a minimum
requirement. It is recommended that you install the current service
pack and all critical updates available for the operating system.
This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit ActiveX controls.
Native 64-bit CPU support requires the latest 64-bit version of
Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 or later versions of the Windows
operating system.
Distribution
When you distribute an application that uses this control, you can
either install the file in the same folder as your application
executable or as a shared component in the appropriate system folder.
If you install the control in the system folder, it is important that
you distribute the correct version for the target platform and it
must be registered. If you install the control in the same folder as
your executable, it is recommended that you use registration-free
activation or COM redirection to ensure that the correct version of
the control is loaded by the application.
