    POP3 inbox program

    Hi all,
    i've recently got a gmail account and i noticed it supports pop3 access, but it requires a connection using ssl and i dont know how to make an ssl-encrypted winsock connection... does anyone know of a good tutorial or have a program that does this?

    Oh, I just tried to use Outlook to access the Gmail account. Not programmatically. I set the right ports, and followed their instructions, but it didn't work. It gets forwarded correctly, though.

    Re: POP3 inbox program

    u mean forward it to another account with pop3 access that doesnt use ssl? i would rather be able to just download it straight from my gmail account cos if i forward it them it might have attachments that are too big for the second account or other problems etc.. plus i dont really wanna have to create a second account to maintain. (yea i know, im lazy) there must be some way, maybe an activex component that combines winsock with ssl somehow? i saw "ChilkatSSL" does something similar but from what i could see it's only compatible with C

    Re: POP3 inbox program

    Gmail requires SSL eh? That's a bummer for folks like us (AT&T was the only place I was aware of requiring SSL and that's only if you're off network).

    Implementing SSL would require that you incorporate something like OpenSSL into your app....a quick google turned this up

    Oh, guess you're aware that SSL POP3 generally runs on port 995 instead of 110.....

    Perhaps you'd be better off, in the long run, purchasing an SSL enabled POP3 component? I know of a commercially available activeX (don't want to be advertising here even though I don't have any connection to the mfg) if you're interested.
