Gets and sets the type of mail server the client is connecting
to.
Syntax
object.ServerType [= servertype]
The object is an expression that evaluates to a InternetMail
object. The property returns a long integer value.
Remarks
The ServerType property may be used to specify the mail
server type before establishing a connection. If this property is
not explicitly set in code, then the control will attempt to
automatically determine which protocol should be used based on the
value of the ServerPort property. By default, the control
will attempt to use the POP3 protocol.
This property may return one of the following values:
| Value |
Constant |
Description |
| 0 |
mailServerDefault |
The default server type is
determined by the value of the ServerPort property. If that
property has not been set, then the control will use the Post
Office Protocol (POP3) as the default protocol when establishing
the connection. |
| 1 |
mailServerPop3 |
The mail server is using the Post
Office Protocol (POP3) |
| 2 |
mailServerImap4 |
The mail server is using the
Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP4) |
It is important to note that certain properties and methods in
the control are specific to the IMAP4 protocol, such as those that
are used to select and enumerate mailboxes. If you are unsure which
protocol your mail server supports, contact the system
administrator.
