Hi

My pop3 mailbox can receive mail any...@pop.com.
1. Is it possible via some pop3 vcl to retrieve only email for
speci...@pop.com or
2. Retrieve only mail with a headers starting with "something specific"?

3. Automatically save the attachment to a specific folder after
download?

If the above is possible who maybe has a small example.
Normally if I connect to the mailbox via outlook express it will
retrieve everything in the pop3 mailbox.

I hope my questions are not too cryptic. If it is I'll try to explain
better.
Thank you for a hopefully positive reply.

If you read the headers, you can then DL only the messages you want.

See TIdPOP3.CheckMessages, and TIdPOP3.RetrieveHeader in the help file.  You
have to filter and build the list of message headers manually.

the POP3 server should support 'TOP x y' command which returns a header
lines of the message X plus Y lines of message's body. So all you have to do
is to send "TOP x 0", parse message headers and determine whether to
download the message or not.

Not all POP servers support 'TOP' command. Some servers doesn't support 'TOP
x 0' (nothing returns).
