EAGetMail ActiveX Object contains objects that allow you to parse and receive email messages. Parseing email message, winmail.dat (TNEF) and encrypted message becomes very easily. The objects in this namespace can be used from Visual Basic 6.0 or any COM compatible application.
Objects
| Object | Description |
| Attachment | Provides properties and methods for presenting e-mail attachment. |
| Certificate | Provides properties and methods for presenting a digital certificate. |
| HeaderCollection | Collection of HeaderItem object. |
| HeaderItem | Provides properties and methods for presenting an e-mail header. |
| Imap4Folder | Provides properties and methods for presenting an IMAP4 folder. |
| Provides properties and methods for presenting an e-mail message. | |
| MailAddress | Provides properties and methods for presenting an e-mail address including display name, e-mail address. |
| MailClient | Provides properties and methods for receiving messages and managing IMAP4 folder. |
| MailInfo | Provides properties and methods for presenting an e-mail information(size, uidl, flags) on mail server. |
| MailServer | Provides properties and methods for constructing a pop3/imap4 server instance. |
| MailReport | Represents a delivery report. |
Example
[Visual Basic 6.0, Visual C++] The following example demonstrates how to receive email with EAGetMail POP3 & IMAP ActiveX Object, but it doesn't demonstrates the events and mail parsing usage. To get the full samples of EAGetMail, please refer to Samples section.
