Hi there Gurus,
Please can I seek your advice on yet another challenge?
I need to monitor a web mail address from VFP6 without using Outlook automation. The email account has IMAP and POP3 settings, may be accessed using SSL or non-SSL and will be used for one purpose only, to receive notifications from a third-party app.
The checking process may be called on one or two computers where the users have Outlook open constantly for their own business mail.
I want to connect to the email address, check for new messages and pick up the subject header from each. The messages can be deleted as they are processed. I don't really need to read the body of the email or process any attachments at this stage.
I have been reading articles about Winsock, CDO, MAPI and Simple MAPI - but I'm not sure which one will do what I need.
Could anyone please point me in the right direction?
Thank you.
Karen
