Email Checker

[JohnBoy2005]

My place of work uses a webmail service for all the staff.

I'm trying to write a program that sits in the system tray and checks for new email.

I have pop3 and smtp addresses, along with usernames and passwords.

I'm trying to use the MAPI control but this seems to want to use Outlook.

Is there a way of just checking for new email.

Many Thanks

John

MAPI is meant as a local API for manipulating your default email client, it isn't a mail client in itself.

You'd need to obtain some email client component or write the equivalent yourself. Probably all you'd need is a very thin client that logs on, does a LIST, then logs off via POP3.
