Sending email uses SMTP, receiving uses POP3, knowledge of sockets will be a BIG help ;-) http://sunsite.dk/RFC/rfc/rfc1939.html - POP3 http://sunsite.dk/RFC/rfc/rfc821.html - SMTP You can get libraries that do all of the hard work for you but they also take all of the fun out of it. Our inhouse mailing lists system uses home brew code, writing and maintaining these things gives a useful insight into how such things work. You can use MAPI functions but you then need to have your email system running (Outlook?) - there may be other ways so I wait to be educated. -- russ.
