    Hi, I'm trying to build an email client, or the like in VB (6), just wondering if you can use telnet, to connect to the pop3 server in VB. I know its possible to do, but how do you combine it with a VB program. Also if I could retrieve and send info through telnet.

    Thanks Guys!

    u could use the MS winsock control or
    write your own code using the win APIs.

    The win APIs will give you much greater control.

    or just google using vb winsock

    I wrote one a while back (just can't find it at the moment), but it used very simelar code to this SMTP application.

    With POP3, you're connecting to port 110 and using a series of commands to authenticate, list, retrieve, etc. You should try doing this with a telnet client first and then coding it up into an app.
