LiveCode Forums.

I have just installed LiveCode and it looks quite interesting.

However, I cannot find any way to load email via POP3.
There seems to be an old library refering to POP3 usage but it appears to be defunct ( and not available ).

Is there anyway to access email(s) ??

You either need to find a library someone has written, or do it yourself as the engine only provides low level sockets and none of the protocols..

Thanks for the reply.

I must admitt to being a bit surprised that such a fundemental internet library is not standard !!

Yeah, there have been other people in the past that have voiced the same thing.. Personally, I like learning new protocols so I generally end up writing my own libraries..

Dear DragonCity,

Thank you for your request.

I believe this is the sample stack you are looking for

The only thing I did not like about Sarah's SMTP and POP libraries is she forces all open sockets closed, which sucks if you have another protocol running along side it..

Thank you all for your inputs, I was away for a period so did not visit the forum until today.

runrevneil: That indeed was the file I was looking for. Have it up and running -- thanks. Useful Demo Program.

shaosean : No doubt writing drivers, etc from scratch is very interesting, but I don't yet have the experience with LiveCode to attempt such a task .
