pop3

I'm using PHP's IMAP functions to retrieve messages from a POP3 mailbox & was wondering is there any way to tell the new messages apart from the old ones? Unfortunately I cannot just delete the ones that are retrieved as they need to stay on the mail server, so I'm now wondering that each subsequent time I connect, how can I just retrieve the new ones OR be able to tell the new ones apart from the old ones I have already retrieved previously? I know that each message has a UID attached to it & I could use this.. however I've read that this can change if the messages are deleted; as the

All I need is get email in PoSh script and see at its topic - with pop3 or imap, doesnt matter. I tried to find solution, but all I found is either 3rd party .net assebmlies, or MS Exchange direct work. Both are not appropriate. How to use SMTP and send email - its absolutely clear, but how to receive? Isn't there any standard assemblies similar to System.Net.Mail? Here is a code I have been using on c#. I have Imported the dll to powershell and used it to retrieve different parts of a message. The dll I used is Imapx2 which is an open source. I understand that you don't want to use a third

I am using POP3 protocol to retrieve my emails in my .NET application. I need to read just new emails only but found in many blogs that it is not possible to retrieve just "unseen" or "new" mails using POP3. Is that true? If so, could you please help me understand how Outlook Express manages to get new mails using POP3? Is there any way that I can flag the seen mails in the email server itself? Or please help me find out a way to retrieve new mails using POP3 protocol. You have to store the UIDL of each email in a local database. When you want to check for new mail, you retrieve the UIDL s on

I can see some options available: 1) Use PEAR's POP3 class --> tried it, having some weird weird issues like FF choking to death on their sample code!!! 2) Use PHPClasses ( here ) --> seems to be the viable option at the time, still working on it 3) Write my own or use one of the snippets available The target is currently Gmail, but I would like this to work on my ISP mail too (not necessarily same code of course). What do you use? Pointers to working snippets would be much appreciated. I use the PHPClasses version. Works fine for me - I've been working on an AJAX mail client (personal project

Neither poplib or imaplib seem to offer proxy support and I couldn't find much info about it despite my google-fu attempts. I'm using python to fetch emails from various imap/pop enabled servers and need to be able to do it through proxies. Ideally, I'd like to be able to do it in python directly but using a wrapper (external program/script, OSX based) to force all traffic to go through the proxy might be enough if I can't find anything better. Could anyone give me a hand? I can't imagine I'm the only one who ever needed to fetch emails through a proxy in python... ** EDIT Title edit to remove

I have a web application that requires a server based component to periodically access POP3 email boxes and retrieve emails. The service then needs to process the emails which will involve: Validating the email against some business rules (does it contain a valid reference in the subject line, which user sent the mail, etc.) Analysing and saving any attachments to disk Take the email body and attachment details and create a new item in the database Or update an existing item where the reference matches the incoming email subject line What is the best way to approach this? I really don't want
