Developer’s Description

Enable your applications to provide IMAP4rev1 protocol server implementation.

ImapServer ActiveX control is component that you can easily integrate into your applications to provide full IMAP4rev1 protocol server implementation. All you need to do is to put it on VB form, call it's Start method and it's immediately accepting connections by your clients. It fully supports commands defined in RFC2060. IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. It is a method of accessing electronic mail or bulletin board messages that are kept on a (possibly shared) mail server. In other words, it permits a "client" email program to access remote message stores as if they were local. IMAP's ability to access messages (both new and saved) from more than one computer has become extremely important as reliance on electronic messaging and use of multiple computers increase, but this functionality cannot be taken for granted: the widely used Post Office Protocol (POP) works best when one has only a single computer, since it was designed to support offline message access, wherein messages are downloaded and then deleted from the mail server.

wodImapServer does not deal with message storage - you should do it by yourself. It will deal with structures and references to folders and messages - but actual contents of messages cannot be handled by wodImapServer. Rather, it will depend on your code when messages are accessed, hoping that you provided properly formatted messages and proper flag information.
