I am using CDO to send mails.
But now I need to receive mail from one account.
Does anybody have some helpfile or somethink like this?

CDO is mostly used for sending e-mails. You could use the Outlook activex on a form and direct the activex to the Inbox. The accounts a usually set up in the registry.

I have never work with this.

Can You tell me please if I can receive email that contains some files(tables), save this tables on disk and do somethink with tables?

All of this must be done by application itself.

Thanks a lot

Normally e-mails a received in an e-mail program (like outlook or outllok express) by using the send and receive button. So technically no, you cannot receive e-mails in VFP, but you can retreive the attachments of you e-mail messages. Take a look at faq184-1769 at the section for retreiving attachments from an e-mail

I have problem with this:
createobject("MAPI.session")

I get this error:

Class definition MAPI.session is not found
What should I do? I tried to insert activeX Microsoft MAPI Session control v 6.0 but it still doesnt work.

Class definition MAPI.session is not found

MAPI.session is intergrated with CDO (Collaboration data objects). It would seem that your system does not have CDO. You may consider automating Outlook to retreive you attachments.

Nice code, you may want to give credit to the author. The code looks familiar.

And also I get an error (Undeclared DLL) at this line:
= Heap2Str (@lcBuffer, lnPtr, BUFFER_SIZE)

It need to declare DLL first. So U should run "DECL" sub procedure. It is working in XP

It must be a configuration issue, I get a "unable to logon" message.
