Receiving email in VB 2005

[Martin]

Hi all,

I can't find it. A long time ago I made in VB6 an alternative e-mail client,
to receive and process e-mails. Now I need to do something similar, but of
course in VB2005. I found a system.net.mail object, but it seems I can only
send e-mails with this object. I need to receive e-mails and then process
the contents...
How do I receive mail in VB2005?

How did you do this in VB6? Perhaps you could just update that code?

Thanks,

There was a MAPI ActiveX Control included in VB6...

It depends on how your email server handles the emails. If your email
server is a POP server, you can use an open source component, OpenPOP to
retrieve and process the emails.
