Overview
The Internet Mail ActiveX control had a comprehensive interface
that provides everything required to incorporate e-mail
functionality in an application. The control implements the Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) for sending messages, the Post Office
Protocol (POP3) and Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) for
retrieving messages from a mail serve. The Multipurpose Internet
Mail Extensions (MIME) standard is implemented for composing and
processing messages.
Many of the control's properties control the contents of a
message, such as the list of recipients, the subject of the message
and the message body. Methods are used to compose new messages,
retrieve messages from a mail server and deliver messages to one or
more recipients. Messages can also be managed on the mail server,
or downloaded to the local system and stored in a file or a
database record. The application has complete access to all of the
headers in the message, and can create custom application-specific
header fields if needed. Event notifications enable the application
to provide the user with feedback, such as the progress of sending
or retrieving a message. Additional features such as delivery
status notification, support for relay servers and secure encrypted
connections are easily implemented by setting a property or
specifying an option when calling a method.
Requirements
The Internet Mail ActiveX control is a self-registering
component compatible with any programming language that supports
COM (Component Object Model) and the ActiveX control specification.
If you are using Visual Basic 6.0 or Visual C++ 6.0, it is required
that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed. It is recommended
that you install all updates for your development tools.
This component is supported on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003,
Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. If you are using
Windows XP, it is required that you have Service Pack 3 (SP3)
installed. It is recommended that all service packs and critical
updates to the Windows operating system be installed.
This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit ActiveX controls.
Native 64-bit CPU support requires the latest 64-bit version of
Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 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.
