POP3 email problem 1

[drew10]

I'm writing a module for the ibuyspy portal that allows users to enter a pop3 and smtp server, username, and password to check and send email. The problem that I am running into is that when create a loop to retrieve each message in the mailbox it executes the retrieve call too quickly, and does not capture all of the information from the email. This sounds strange, but when I step through the loop one email at a time, it retrieves all of the info. I am very puzzled. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

You could stall the thread for so many milliseconds at the end of each iteration by using the following code:

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500)

This would stall the current thread (and therefore, your loop) for a half a second at the end of each iteration of the loop... Modify to be as short as possible, but long enough to retrieve all the information.
