Answer

Thank you :-)

But it is very strange.....

The first example I ran gives me always the error. Then I tried the example you just send me ("MFC: Test HotMail POP3 (pop3.live.com or pop-mail.outlook.com)" ) and it runs without problem.... then I retry the first example ... and now .... it runs also OK ????

The two example are not exactly the same... I placed the first example below. I see that the first example use mailman.put_PopSsl(true); / mailman.CopyMail(); (and then CkEmailBundle *bundle) and the second use mailman.put_PopSsl(true); / mailman.Pop3Connect(); / mailman.Pop3Authenticate(); / mailman.CheckMail(); without CkEmailBundle.

Is the example I first use a little bit too simple ? What is the right way to go ? can I use CkEmailBundle (and bundle->GetEmail(i);) with the second example ?

Regards

Greg

PS : the code :

void CEMail_test_Dlg::OnTest() { // The mailman object is used for receiving (POP3) // and sending (SMTP) email. CkMailMan mailman;

UpdateData(true);
m_EditPlainText="";

//  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
bool success = mailman.UnlockComponent("30-day trial");
if (success != true) {
    //std::cout << "Component unlock failed" << "\r\n";
    m_EditPlainText+="Component unlock failed \r\n";
    UpdateData(false);
    return;
}

//  Set the POP3 server's hostname
mailman.put_MailHost("pop3.live.com");

//  Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.put_PopUsername("xyz@hotmail.com");
mailman.put_PopPassword("abcdef");

//  Indicate that we want TLS/SSL.  Also, set the port to 995:
mailman.put_MailPort(995);
mailman.put_PopSsl(true);

CkEmailBundle *bundle = 0;
//  Read mail headers and one line of the body.
bundle = mailman.CopyMail();

if (bundle == 0 ) {
    //std::cout << mailman.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
    m_EditPlainText+=mailman.lastErrorText() ;
    m_EditPlainText+="\r\n";
    UpdateData(false);
    return;
}

int i;
CkEmail *email = 0;
for (i = 0; i <= bundle->get_MessageCount() - 1; i++) {
    email = bundle->GetEmail(i);

    //  Display the From email address and the subject.
    //std::cout << "From: " << email->ck_from() << "\r\n";
    //std::cout << "Subject: " << email->subject() << "\r\n";
    m_EditPlainText+="From: " ;
    m_EditPlainText+=email->ck_from() ;
    m_EditPlainText+= "\r\n";
    m_EditPlainText+="Subject: " ;
    m_EditPlainText+= email->subject() ;
    m_EditPlainText+= "\r\n";
    delete email;
}

delete bundle;

UpdateData(false);

}

Thank you :-)

As I was trying to get my emails, I remarks that it only returns email from the 'inbox' folder. Is there a way to get folder list and then email inside a specific folder ?
