wodPop3Server

- Version 1.5.0

WeOnlyDo! COM Pop3Server ActiveX control is a component
that can be easily integrated into your applications to
provide full Pop3 protocol server implementation. All
you need to do is to put it on VB form, call it's Start
method and it's immediately accepting connections by
your clients! It fully supports commands defined in
RFC1939.

Use your favorite mail client (such as Outlook Express
or Eudora) to read mail provided by your own
application. How? That's easy part: just put
wodPop3Server control on your form, add some code
around and it's all setup to be used.

If you dislike adding additional code - it's fine by
wodPop3Server. It will still work, and reject all the
clients (with bad username/password error). But, if you
add login capabilities using 'Connected' event (that's
easy part - set Action = Allow for specific
username/password combination). Still, if you want to
make real Pop3 server application, look no more for
native support for socket related material - you just
found it.

wodPop3Server will deal with clients and connections -
you must deal with messages. Once new user logs on to
your Pop3 server, you need to provide any kind of
information about his mail. This is really easy task.
If you keep all the emails in separate files, that's
just great for usage with wodPop3Server.
If you prefer to keep it in one large file - we will
not argue about it.
You can specify filename, starting and ending position
for each email in mailbox, and WeOnlyDo! Pop3Server
will pass it to remote client with ease. However, you
might have some small problems maintaining such mailbox
since sometimes it needs to delete messages, change
status, etc.. But don't worry - it all can be done
after user logs off.
