[ßädbö¥]

Hi 2 all....
How can i controll over my email account through VB. I want 2 send mails using VB and also recieve mail which r comming on my Email ID. without using any control only by using code....

Can any Guru help me...

[JordanChris]

Which e-mail server are you using? Which e-mail client are you using? How does the server communicate with the client (what protocol)?

Once you answer these, then we can help....


Outlook / Outlook Express / Lotus Notes / Domino / Groupwise / Exchange / POP3 / SMTP / MAPI / HTML etc.

Hi....
My account is on Yahoo. my email ID is [email protected].
I don't know anything about email client and server communication...

I do not know how to access e-mails on Yahoo.

It uses an HTML client, and it may not have any programmatical way of getting the e-mails.

If I remember correctly u need to send a string to yahoo server and that way u can achieve what u r telling but I could never implemeted it.

Good luck with it. Just a suggestion that if you are new to VB and trying to learn new things then it's cool. So if you are doing this yahoo thing for fun then I suggest you should try to learn about objects, classes, controls and database programming.

Cheers.

is it just me or is this annoying as hell to look at? and kind of hard if you are not used to looking at gibberish "leet"

[LITHIA]

yeah the font/text is very annoying to read.

If i wasnt as nice as I am, i would have ignored this post all together haha

well Derrick, i believe mail accounts like Yahoo, hotmail, ICQ etc... do not allow POP3 and SMTP access.

So I find it highly unlikely you will be able to implement code to work for it. You would have to do some sort of site communication, which I have no idea bout.

Neither have I even seen a post or site anywhere which explains anything about this.

If you are hoping to get anywhere In email, I really think you need to use a POP3 and SMTP account. I have seen tutorials and posts on communicating with pop3 and smtp. You could even use somthing like Telnet to do that, so it shoudln't be hard.

Hope you find out how to do it with yahoo, but i dont think its going to easy.

PEOPLE IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING, PLEASE REPLY TO HIM. I CAN TELL THIS IS GOING TO BE RARE!!! Thankyou - for him lol

and yahoo is suppost to be free when it comes to this pop3 and smtp??

[agmorgan]

OK
To get you started here is a form I use to send joke emails around my ompany.
It lets you put who the email is from, ie fakes the senders address.

This probably isnt exactly what you want but it is something to look at if you are interested.

It needs a reference to a Winsock control and uses Telnet commands.

I got the Telnet commands from a tutorial here or PSC or somewhere.
Cant remember where!

Yahoo is now fee-male.

I used to have a pop3/smtp account with Yahoo but as of April 2002 it is no longer free so I switched on to a new one. However you can use the yahoo account at no cost through your web browser.
