Re: Send/Receive Email: Point me in the right direction

Good afternoon everybody,

I want to create a program that will essentially be able to "Receive
email" like MS Outlook but only view/receive certain email messages
with a specific string in the subject line. Unfortunately, I am a
complete newbie to making applications dealing with email and I need
some direction to learn what to do.

I could integrate MS Outlook directly with OLE automation, but I don't
want the client computer to have MS Outlook installed. Is there any
resource(s) that anyone knows of (including text books) that may help
me learn the basics; should I be looking into Indy Sockets for
something like this?

A good start would a component suite that provides a POP3 client (The mail receiving protocol). Try "ICS" or "Indy". You may even find a bundled demo that receives messages.

Cheers,
Nicholas Sherlock
