Examples

The following example sets the values of the From Address, Subject, Body, and Headers from the values of the Text properties of TextFields in a window.

// set up the socket--Socket1 is an SMTPSocket
Socket1.Address = ServerField.Value
Socket1.Port = 25
If AuthenticateBox.Value = True Then
Socket1.UserName = UserNameField.Value
Socket1.Password = PasswordField.Value
Else
Socket1.UserName = ""
End If

Var mail As New EmailMessage
mail.FromAddress = FromAddressField.Value
mail.Subject = SubjectField.Value
mail.BodyPlainText = BodyField.Value
mail.BodyHTML = HtmlField.Value
mail.Headers.AppendHeader("X-Mailer","Example SMTP Demo")

// add recipients
Var s As String
s = ToAddressField.Value.ReplaceAll(",", Chr(13))
s = s.ReplaceAll(Chr(13) + Chr(10), Chr(13))
Var recipients() As String
recipients = s.Split(Chr(13))
For Each recipient As String In recipients
mail.AddRecipient(Trim(recipient))
Next

// add cc recipients
s = CCAddress.Value.ReplaceAll(",", Chr(13))
s = s.ReplaceAll(Chr(13) + Chr(10), Chr(13))
recipients.RemoveAllRows
recipients = s.Split(Chr(13))
For Each recipient As String In recipients
mail.AddCCRecipient(Trim(recipient))
Next

Var file As EmailAttachment

// add attachments
If fileField.Text <> "" Then
file = New EmailAttachment
file.LoadFromFile(GetFolderItem(fileField.Value))
mail.Attachments.Add(file)
End If

// send the email
Socket1.Messages.Append(mail)
Socket1.SendMail

The Action event of a PushButton connects to a POP3 server and gets the email for the specified account. It reads the POP3Server, username, and password from TextFields on the form. Socket1 is a POP3Socket object.

If Me.Caption = "Connect" Then
Socket1.Address = ServerField.Value
Socket1.Port = 110

Socket1.UserName = UserNameField.Value
Socket1.Password = PasswordField.Value

Socket1.Connect
Me.Caption = "Disconnect"
Else
Socket1.DisconnectFromServer
Me.Caption = "Connect"
End If

The MessageReceived event of the POP3Socket places the text of the message in a TextField.

Var s As String

// display the message
s = Email.BodyHTML
If s = "" Then
s = Email.BodyPlainText
End If

BodyField.Value = s.ReplaceAll(Chr(13) + Chr(10), Chr(13))
