[AccessD] Email using SMTP

Hi Max

FreePOP may lack some features (I've not used it):

However, I've used two (not free but not expensive) POP3 tools, the DLL from

  http://www.marshallsoft.com

and the very powerful ocx from Chilkat:

Both feature excellent service which alone may very well be worth the money you pay.

Thanks Marty, none of these did the trick, but they did start me hopping
across the sites.  I eventually came up with FREEPOP which I have started
making use of.  It describes itself as:

Description:
FreePOP is an ActiveX control that allows read/write access to a POP3
mailbox and the messages in the mailbox. This ActiveX control was developed
with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0-SP4.

Possible uses:
FreePOP allows you to find out the number of unread messages in a POP3
mailbox. 
FreePOP allows you access to the various headers of a message (i.e. Subject,
Date, From, etc.) 
FreePOP allows you to retrieve the contents of a message. 
FreePOP allows you to selectively delete a message. 
FreePOP allows you to read a message directly into a file.

Documentation is good and I had it working in no time at all.  I just need
to program it in so that it operates in the way I want.

Thanks for kick-starting me.
Regards
Max
