Receive your email with POP3
 
NOTE: See the Mail Objects page for a Newer, Simpler-to-Use, Higher Level API.

The Post Office Protocol (POP), provides a way for a server machine to store mail for various client machines that are not continuously connected to the Internet or are behind a company's firewall. E-mail is held in the POP server until you login and retrieve it using a POP client. The Distinct POP client component allows you to write customized POP client applications to directly retrieve, read, store or delete mail in private mail boxes. Firewall support is embedded so that users who would like, for security reasons, to connect to the POP server through a firewall proxy may do so.

Expected time savings: 6 man-months

Expected time savings is the time that, based on our experience, would take a skilled developer with good understanding of TCP/IP networking and very well versed in C/C++, to develop this control. This time can be used as a guideline of the cost involved if you choose to develop it yourself or have someone else develop it for you.
