ANPOP is a high performance COM object built by Visual C++ ATL. It enables your ASP/VB or other COM environment applications to retrieve email from mail server based on POP3 protocol and parse email structure based on MIME.

ANPOP contains five COM objects, including POPMAIN object, POPMSG object, MSGSTORE object, Pop3Request object and Pop3Queue object. POPMAIN object retrieves email from mail server while POPMSG object parses email structure.

POPMAIN object supports all operations of POP3 protocol. It fully supports asynchronous operating mode and event firing. It specifically provides GetHeader method to retrieve the message header from mail server, which facilitates developer to develop applications to preview email Subject, Sender and other header information before downloading the whole email body from server. 

POPMSG object supports rich functions to parse email structure and abstract specified information from email, such as Subject, Sender, Date, Recipient and Attachment. It effectively parses multiple- parts message body. POPMSG object also automatically decodes the message part encoded by base64 or quoted-printable.

MSGSTORE object provides an easy way to store and maintain your emails on local disk.
