Hi John,
Thanks for your reply.I found dalun's components to be useful.But,i
would like to develop my
own component for accessing mail rather than using thirdparty components.I
would like to
know if ASP itself has facilities which could be used to create our own
component as such to
access mail from pop mail servers.If so,i would be happy if you could let me
know if you some some
sample code or tell me of sites which have tutorials related to accessing
mail from ASP.

POP3 proptocol is pretty simple at a basic level and a
quick search of the net will give you examples and
tutorials on how you use it. Then all you need is a way
of using sockets to talk TCP/IP to the mail server. If
you are using VB then it comes with a Winsock control, you
could also try using the winsock APIs but they are a bit
more hard-core. Easiests by far is if you are using
vb.net.

ASP has no built-in mechanism to retrieve mail from a
mailserver, not can it talk over sockets. You need a
component of some sort. You might already have something
on the server that will let you do it such as the MAPI
objects or CDO or something.
