Remarks
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 control implements the current standard for
this protocol, and provides functions 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
interface is designed as a superset of the Post Office Protocol
interface, so developers who are used to working with the POP3
control will find the IMAP control very easy to integrate into an
existing application.
This control supports secure connections using the standard SSL
and TLS protocols. A SocketTools Secure Visual Edition license must
be purchased to use the security features in this control.
Requirements
This ActiveX control is supported on Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. If you
are using Windows 2000, it is required that you have Service Pack
(SP4) installed. If you are using Windows XP, it is required that
you have at least Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed and it is
recommended that you install Internet Explorer 7.0. It is also
recommended that all critical updates to the Windows operating
system be installed.
The SocketTools Visual Edition components are compatible with
any development tool that fully supports COM (Component Object
Model) and the ActiveX control specification. This includes Visual
Studio 6.0, Visual Studio .NET 2003, Visual Studio 2005 and Visual
Studio 2008. If you are using Visual Basic 6.0 or Visual C++ 6.0,
it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed. If you
are using Visual Studio .NET 2003 or Visual Studio 2005, it is
recommended that you install Service Pack 1 (SP1). In all cases, it
is recommended that you have the current updates for your
development tools installed.
Distribution
When you distribute an application that uses this control, you
should install the appropriate file in the Windows system
directory. ActiveX controls must be registered on the target system
by the installation program before they can be used by an
application.
