Gets and sets the type of mail server the client is connecting
to.
Syntax
object.ServerType [= servertype ]
Remarks
The ServerType property may be used to specify the mail
server type before establishing a connection. If this property is not
explicitly set in code, then the control will attempt to
automatically determine which protocol should be used based on the
value of the ServerPort property. By default, the control will
attempt to use the POP3 protocol.
This property may return one of the following values:
| Value |
Constant |
Description |
| 0 |
mailServerDefault |
The default server type is determined by the value of the
ServerPort property. If that property has not been set, then the
control will use the Post Office Protocol (POP3) as the default
protocol when establishing the connection. |
| 1 |
mailServerPop3 |
The mail server is using the Post Office Protocol (POP3) |
| 2 |
mailServerImap4 |
The mail server is using the Internet Message Access Protocol
(IMAP4) |
It is important to note that certain properties and methods in the
control are specific to the IMAP4 protocol, such as those that are
used to select and enumerate mailboxes. If you are unsure which
protocol your mail server supports, contact the system
administrator.
