Overview
The Internet Mail ActiveX control had a comprehensive interface
that provides everything required to incorporate email functionality
in an application. The control implements the Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol (SMTP) for sending messages, the Post Office Protocol (POP3)
and Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) for retrieving messages
from a mail serve. The Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME)
standard is implemented for composing and processing messages.
Many of the control's properties control the contents of a
message, such as the list of recipients, the subject of the message
and the message body. Methods are used to compose new messages,
retrieve messages from a mail server and deliver messages to one or
more recipients. Messages can also be managed on the mail server, or
downloaded to the local system and stored in a file or a database
record. The application has complete access to all of the headers in
the message, and can create custom application-specific header fields
if needed. Event notifications enable the application to provide the
user with feedback, such as the progress of sending or retrieving a
message. Additional features such as delivery status notification,
support for relay servers and secure encrypted connections are easily
implemented by setting a property or specifying an option when
calling a method.
Requirements
The SocketTools ActiveX Edition components are self-registering
controls compatible with any programming language that supports COM
(Component Object Model) and the ActiveX control specification. If
you are using Visual Basic 6.0 you must have Service Pack 6 (SP6)
installed. It is recommended that you install all updates for your
development tools.
This control is supported on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and
later versions of the desktop and server platforms. If you are using
Windows 7, you must have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed as a minimum
requirement. It is recommended that you install the current service
pack and all critical updates available for the operating system.
This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit ActiveX controls.
Native 64-bit CPU support requires the latest 64-bit version of
Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 or later versions of the Windows
operating system.
Distribution
When you distribute an application that uses this control, you can
either install the file in the same folder as your application
executable or as a shared component in the appropriate system folder.
If you install the control in the system folder, it is important that
you distribute the correct version for the target platform and it
must be registered. If you install the control in the same folder as
your executable, it is recommended that you use registration-free
activation or COM redirection to ensure that the correct version of
the control is loaded by the application.
