How do I recieve emails from a web server in Visual Basic? 1

[Light777]

I need to be able to check my email account every so many seconds for new emails and retrieve them. Is there a fairly simple way to do this in Visual Basic?

Try using the MapiSessions Control and the MapiMessage control in conjunction with a Timer control.

There is a good intro to the Mapi controls in VBHelp or at:

I can use MAPIsessions to log in and provide a username and password, but how do you set the domain name where the email is stored?

 

[johnwm]

Set the username property to your default Mapi service (eg Outlook/Exchange/whatever) and Mapisession picks up all the details from there for the currently logged user
