PowerTCP Mail Tool

The SMTP Control sends mail, the POP Control downloads mail, the IMAP Control manages mail on the server, and the Message object encodes/decodes your mail on-the-fly. If you have experienced the pain of dealing with multi-part MIME messages, you'll appreciate our new Message object!

• SMTP Control - Use this control to send messages to any SMTP server. Enhanced SMTP commands are automatically supported. A message can even be constructed and sent with one line of code.
• POP Control - Use this control to download messages from any POP3 server. By default, all messages are downloaded into a single collection of message objects!
• IMAP Control - Use this control to manage and download messages from any IMAP4 server. A local object model makes remote mail management easy, with no knowledge of IMAP4 commands required!
• Mail Object - Accepts any MIME message and decodes it into an object representation you can easily deal with. Performs encoding too!
