Login to POP3 server in using APOP
APOP is a secure method of logging in to a POP3 mail server. Your password is encrypted while being transmitted over the network. Not all servers support APOP. The ‘HasTimeStamp’ property usually tells that your server supports it.
// C# version using System; using Limilabs.Mail; using Limilabs.Client.POP3; class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { using (Pop3 pop3 = new Pop3()) { pop3.Connect("server.example.com"); if (pop3.HasTimeStamp == true) pop3.LoginAPOP("user", "password"); else pop3.Login("user", "password"); // Receive all messages and display the subject MailBuilder builder = new MailBuilder(); foreach (string uid in pop3.GetAll()) { IMail email = builder.CreateFromEml( pop3.GetMessageByUID(uid)); Console.WriteLine("subject: {0}", email.Subject); } pop3.Close(); } } };
' VB.NET version Imports System Imports Limilabs.Mail Imports Limilabs.Client.POP3 Public Module Module1 Public Sub Main(ByVal args As String()) Using pop3 As New Pop3() pop3.Connect("server.example.com") If pop3.HasTimeStamp = True Then pop3.LoginAPOP("user", "password") Else pop3.Login("user", "password") End If ' Receive all messages and display the subject Dim builder As New MailBuilder() For Each uid As String In pop3.GetAll() Dim email As IMail = builder.CreateFromEml( _ pop3.GetMessageByUID(uid)) Console.WriteLine("subject: {0}", email.Subject) Next pop3.Close() End Using End Sub End Module

Hello,
I connect to sever-mail of ‘virgilio’. but when i do the log-in i receive the following message :”[AUTH] POP3 access not allowed”. the user and the password are correct. I suppose that is a problem of ‘virgilio mail’.
I repeat the sequence of command to connect to hotmail. but when i do the log- in “the mail box not be opened”

Most likely you need to enable POP3 access. Please ask your administrator/service provider for details on how to do this (Maybe free accounts don’t have POP3 access enabled?).
> “the mail box not be opened”
Are you sure this is the exact error message you got from hotmail?
Have you provided correct username and password?
