Remarks

The Post Office Protocol (POP3) provides access to a user’s new e-mail messages on a mail server. Functions are provided for listing available messages and then retrieving those messages, storing them either in files or in memory. Once a user’s messages have been downloaded to the local system, they are typically removed from the server. This is the most popular e-mail protocol used by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and the library provides a complete interface for managing a user’s mailbox. This library is typically used in conjunction with the Mail Message library, which is used to process the messages that are retrieved from the server.

This library supports secure connections using the standard SSL and TLS protocols. Both implicit and explicit SSL connections can be established, enabling the library to work with a wide variety of servers. A SocketTools Secure Library Edition license must be purchased to use the security features in this library.

This library is supported on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with any development environment that supports calling functions exported from a standard dynamic link library (DLL).
