Sending and receiving email (SMTP & POP3)

I am new to the pascal scene, I previously used visual basic and some C++. I
am now trying my hand at Turbo Pascal and Delphi. My current task is to
write a program that can send SMTP mail and recieve POP3 mail.
Does anyone know of any components that will allow me to do this. I have
heard about MAPI would that do? I know that was used for the Mellisa Virus
but does it have the ability to receive mail.?
Also
I have tried looking for this myself at different web sites. The best I can
find was a program that used Winsock 1.1. Unfortunately I haven't winsock
1.1. When I tried looking for that all I could find were other dll not ther
winsock.dll. I must have 10 different version ranging up to version 2. But i
couldn't find winsock.dll.

This is a last resort, I have been to the end of the Earth to find some
source. Anyone please help.

P.S
if you need more info don't hesitate to ask me.

MAPI is a message exchange layer (it's part of the MS Exchange services).
It's at a higher level than POP3 and SMPT, but it can be used to receive and
send mails (if the MAPI account is set up correctly). However, I don't really
think that this is the solution for you.

In Delphi 2.01, 3 and 4 you get some internet components. There are also
several free socket units around together with components  handling SMTP and
POP3. The're all WinSock based,m and I'm sure you have WinSock because the
majority of internet programs (the only excpeion are some special provider
software like old AOL or T-Online software) is based on it.

I wrote a complete commercial mail server using Delphi, however the source is
not available to the public. I may release my fully async-handled socket unit
which handles everything like text buffering and non-blocked sending some
time, but I don't know yet.

go to Phoenix Mail:

http://www.highq.com/Jon/phoenix/us_index.html

not just a component - it's the entire application AND source code in
D3.

cheers,

Mat

Since you've used VB, if you don't mind an OCX or want to use a DLL We
have a sample, STMAIL, as part of our commercial SocketTools package
which uses the SMTP control and the POP3 control in a simple mail
client. You can download SocketTools from our website at
http://www.catalyst.com.

Re:Sending and receiving email (SMTP & POP3)


I have used TEmail, it works great for sending but my application
doesn't require receiving.  I expect it works great.  I can't remember
where I got it, but the zip file is 121K and I can email it to you.
