MailBee POP3 Component

MailBee POP3 Component is an all-in-one and very useful program which offers you an easy and quick way to download mail from POP3 servers in ASP, VB or any other ActiveX-capable application. It supports secure authentication on a POP3 server, full and partial download of messages (downloading headers), deleting messages, parsing and decoding messages into easy-to-use Message objects. Like all other MailBee components, MailBee POP3 can be extended with MailBee SSL/SMIME Component. This will enable full support of SSL/TLS connections (for instance, you can use it with GMail) and S/MIME.

Major Features:

1. POP3 Object:
   • Supports secure authentication methods (including APOP, NTLM, MSN) during connection to POP3 server
   • Can retrieve all messages as a collection, retrieve only headers for each message, headers + part of message body
   • Can retrieve any single particular message or (its headers)
   • Can detect total message count in the mailbox, total size of all messages and sizes of every message. All of above does not require to retrieve messages or headers
   • Automatically parses retrieved messages and headers (decoding from base64/quoted-printable/uue, converting charset to windows code page, etc.)
   • Automatically creates plain-text version of HTML formatted message if plain version is not available in the message itself
   • Can determine whether a message contains attachments when downloading message headers only
   • Can delete messages from POP3 server
   • Supports logging POP3 session into the file
   • Can execute user-specified commands (SendCommand method)
   • Ping method allows to implement "keep connection alive" function in your applications
   • Supports event mechanism to track retrieval progress (and abort retrieval if needed)
2. MailMessage Object:
   • Available in all MailBee Objects packages (POP3, SMTP, Objects). Used as a main unit POP3 retrieval and SMTP sending methods operate with
   • Because SMTP object composes messages using Message object, all composing functionality of SMTP object also applies to Message object
   • Includes collection of a message's attachments
   • Provides access to custom message headers through GetHeader method
   • Can be created explicitly through CreateObject and then saved to disk or sent by SMTP object
   • Any content can be loaded to RawBody property (such as content of message file or attachment with message inside)
   • RawBody operates symmetrically: when you set Message properties or call Message-affecting methods (such as AddAttachment), RawBody will reflect this changes next time you read it; when you load RawBody with new value, other Message properties such as BodyText are refreshed
   • No redundant refreshes on RawBody. If you sequentially change some Message properties, RawBody will be updated only when you read it, not after every changing Message properties

Requirements:

• 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008
