PoP3 Mail

[saratogacoach]

Hi,

I have been trying to learn from Sarah Reichelt's excellent stacks for PoP3 (http://www.troz.net/rev/stacks/POP_library_demo.rev) and SMTP(http://www.troz.net/rev/stacks/SMTP_library_demo.rev), since I am trying to create a Mailer for receiving (PoP3) and sending (SMTP), using Enterprise v4 (Windows).

For a relatively new user with beginner skills, one challenge I need some help with: Instead of a log and a lot of details in multiple messages, I need to create a field that lists all of the unread email messages on the server, sort of an overview/summary of what is there and unread (or, if unread is not possible, then recent messages-last few hours or day). If the user clicks on a specific message in that field, then in a second field, they would be able to view that message's text (body).

I can't figure out how to get and select these, then put them into these 2 fields instead of what is currently in the example window.

There are other challenges, but this would be a big first step forward.

Any help appreciated.

Kind Regards,

[asawyer13]

Did you ever get this running?

Hi Alan,

Too long ago to recall. Sorry.

I tried to use this stack and using Google mail, I get the error

530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. bg3sm14725066wib.10

How is this managed in livecode?

I do not believe Rev supports TLS, but it seems that you can connect on port 465 and use SSL (which I believe Rev is supposed to support)..
