Can Delphi read and reply to e-mail?

[delphiman]

I need to develop a project which will read incoming e-mail, look for specific details, and then automatically reply if necessary - including a .GDB file.

Is there some guru out there who can point me to where I might find something
on this.

Thanks in advance.

delphiman,

Yes, Delphi can read and write email. There are several ways to do this, but the most broadly supported that I've found is to use the MAPI (Mail API) provided by Windows itself.

For a simple example of one way to use MAPI, please see

http://techtricks.com/delphi/sendmail.php

There are other approaches, as well as a number of helpful components available. One of my favorites for MAPI services is provided with Raize Components (

http://www.raize.com/DevTools/RzComps/Contents.htm).

Hope this helps...

I've now written an FAQ on emailing which outlines the content of the link within a link within a link(!) that I provided. My link (given above) eventually goes back to the reply Lance provided when I asked a similar question.

Anyway, here is the FAQ: faq102-3600

Hope this helps!
