Receive Mail

[pradeepkrao]

Hi,

How can I receive mail from VB, I need to parse the senders name and the subject of the message.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Pradeep

Receive from where?

E-mail is sent to an e-mail server. The server saves the e-mail in a mailbox. A client comes along using a certain protocol to access the server. Depending on the server, will alter the protocols available. Depending on the implmentation of the server will depend on which protocols are best.

So: Which server? which protocol? which client? which access type and protocol?

Alternatively, search through the forum for Outlook integration or POP3 access.
