I've been using this:
I've been using it for a couple of years now with no trouble.. except:
In the PopClient class, the "Loop counter" variable a is declared as an Integer. If your mailbox accumulates too many emails, you'll Overflow this variable. I changed mine to Long and that seems to have fixed it with no noticeable side-effects
In the Data procedure of the SmtpClient class, you'd do well to add a Date header to the message. I added
sendStr "Date: " & Format(Now, "ddd, dd mmm yyyy hh:nn:ss"
& " -500" & vbCrLf
As for speed, I don't know how it compares to other methods. Seems pretty speedy to me.
