Thank goodness, this project is almost finished. It uses the TNMPOP3 component to retrieve mail summaries from a POP3 server. The summaries objects have many useful methods and properties including subject, sender and header. The header is returned as a series of strings which don't really seem to hold any consistency or order.
The problem is that I need the date & time of when the message was last received. By that I mean I don't need to know how many times it was forwarded or anything at all about any transactions except the very last one.
My boss and I discussed many different ways to try to extract the time & date from these header strings, but I still contend that none of them are dependable because the strings seem sort of arbitrary based on which e-mail server sent or received the message.
I'm hoping someone is going to tell me that there is a method of TNMPOP3.Summary to just get the date and time quickly. If not, I need some other way to do it. Thank you.
P.S. Once the time and date are retrieved in a way that is dependable, the project is finished.
