receiving email

[Larry Cheung]

Hi all,

Could anyone tell me how to read/received emails from SMPT or POP3 email
server? I use VB.NET 2003.

I can only found SMTP Send mail function in VB.Net.

Cheers

Unless you have a component that does this for you, you need to go the
"telnet route", basically.

Open a socket, connect to the POP server on port 110 and start issuing RFC
commands, like USR, PASS, RETR, LIST and so on.

It's not particularly hard to do if you're just playing around, but if you
need this for real I suggest you get a component. I think the Indy project
has a POP thingy that can help you.
