Overview
The Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is an application
protocol which is used to access a user's e-mail messages which are
stored on a mail server. However, unlike the Post Office Protocol
(POP) where messages are downloaded and processed on the local
system, the messages on an IMAP server are retained on the server
and processed remotely. This is ideal for users who need access to
a centralized store of messages or have limited bandwidth. For
example, traveling salesmen who have notebook computers or mobile
users on a wireless network would be ideal candidates for using
IMAP.
The SocketTools IMAP library implements the current standard for
this protocol, and provides methods to retrieve messages, or just
certain parts of a message, create and manage mailboxes, search for
specific messages based on certain criteria and so on. The API is
designed as a superset of the Post Office Protocol API, so
developers who are used to working with the POP3 library will find
the IMAP library very easy to integrate into an existing
application.
This library supports secure connections using the standard SSL
and TLS protocols.
Requirements
The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with
any programming language that supports calling functions exported
from a standard dynamic link library (DLL). If you are using 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 and have the current Windows SDK installed.
This library 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 libraries. 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 your application that uses this library, it
is recommended that you install the file in the same folder as your
application executable. If you install the library into a shared
location on the system, it is important that you distribute the
correct version for the target platform and it should be registered
as a shared DLL. This is a standard Windows dynamic link library,
not an ActiveX component, and does not require COM
registration.
