Email checker 1

[roswell]

Does anybody knows how to program in Vb an email checker? Where a popup will be shown stating if the user has an email without opening its email site like Microsoft outlook.

There are several programs at

http://www.planetsourcecode.com

that deal with email. Maybe one does what you want. Check them out. Thanks and Good Luck!

Hi Rosewell,
The best example is there in MSDN Samples folder, where the mapi control application is programmed.
Just execute it, you change according to your needs.

Thanks for your answers but is there a way where I don't need to use any controls like API?

Yes, maybe there is, you can try to use the mapi api...

AND/OR CDO

Using mapi will still use a control. What I need is a way to alert me of my email like if I have a new mail in my Yahoo account without opening it in the Yahoo site. I think I need to use API but I can't find how. Anybody knows how?

Thanks.

No, you can quite happily use MAPI without a control. It does, after all, stand for Messaging API

CDO wraps MAPI functionality, and gives you mail objects - but still doesn't require a control.

Did you actually look at the references that vb5prgrmr posted?

Just to avoid confusion. The link to planet source code, as I wrote it, is correct. Click the link and see. Thanks and Good Luck!

Thanks for all your answers. I was able to create a program for checking email however it checks all the emails in the server. What I want is to alert the user the number of NEW mails not the total number of the mails. Does anybody knows how to do this? Thanks.

Check out the FetchUnreadOnly property if you are using MAPI
