• “Great utility. Installed without a problem and worked straight away. Been using on our live system and it appears to be very reliable too - thanks.”

  Carl Fraser

MailBee IMAP4 enables developers to quickly add IMAP capabilities to their Windows or web applications. The component supports message search and checking new/read/unread status (all of the above - without downloading entire messages or even message headers). Basic features are also supported - preview messages, retrieve, parse and manage messages and mailboxes (folders). The component can be used in any ActiveX-capable language such as ASP, VB, etc.

Like all other MailBee components, MailBee IMAP can be extended with MailBee SSL/SMIME Component. This will enable full support of SSL/TLS connections (for instance, you can use it with GMail) and S/MIME.

No knowledge of IMAP4, SSL, MIME and S/MIME is required.

In order to use the component, make sure the mail server you are using does support IMAP4 protocol.

IMAP4 Object reference...

• Available in all MailBee Objects packages (POP3, SMTP, Objects). Used as a main unit POP3 retrieval and SMTP sending methods operate with
• Because SMTP object composes messages using Message object, all composing functionality of SMTP object also applies to Message object
• Includes collection of a message's attachments
• Provides access to custom message headers through GetHeader method
• Can be created explicitly through CreateObject and then saved to disk or sent by SMTP object
• Any content can be loaded to RawBody property (such as content of message file or attachment with message inside)
• RawBody operates symmetrically: when you set Message properties or call Message-affecting methods (such as AddAttachment), RawBody will reflect this changes next time you read it; when you load RawBody with new value, other Message properties such as BodyText are refreshed
• No redundant refreshes on RawBody. If you sequentially change some Message properties, RawBody will be updated only when you read it, not after every changing Message properties
