I`ve just tried your MailReader application. It managed to read all the headers from my mail account by POP3 protocol:

Quote:

+OK
USER ************
+OK Password required for user ********
PASS ************
+OK ************* maildrop has 133 messages (155829248 octets)
STAT
+OK 133 155829248
LIST
UIDL
QUIT
+OK POP3 server at ******* signing off

Everything worked if I tick "Transcript" ckeckbox (no idea what that means). Without "Transcript" checked program fails to connect to server (no debug info shown) with GPF exception from time to time.

U++: latest SVN build
OS: WinXP SP2

Yes, you're right. I've changed the "transcript" to "enable logging". I hope this makes sense. As to the General page fault you mention, I've updated the code. It should be fixed now...
I would be grateful if you could test the new source.

The timed out error disappeared after I used the correct IP Embarassed , but no emails were retrieved. Tested with MSC9 with the same null result.
I saw that it is difficult (impossible) to exit the program when it is running and the program crush if I press two times read email.

Yes, it is because the socket is currently in blocking mode. I am going to make it a nonblocking socket but, frankly, I'm a little bit troubled with U++ Socket class since there is no documentation about it. Neither the MT forum topics nor the Httpcli/srv examples helped me much... If possible, I don't want to rewrite the whole code in pure Win32 and X11, so can someone briefly explain the necessary steps to be taken in creating nonblocking sockets with U++? Also, how can I use that SocketEvent class (which seems to be defined only under Win32)?

What are your plans for this? It would be great to work with a single Upp SSL package that could be used for many things like web, ftp, mail, etc... Or will they all be specific implementations anyway?

Well It's really a good idea to have a single SSL wrapper. But it also might be very time consuming. Smile

OTOH, I can give it a try (but I have a lot of things waiting to be finished on my TODO list.That's why I wrote "not yet". The WCS classes and this WebMail package is on top of my list now. But again, it is worth trying).
