    Default SMTP mail retreival

    I am using CF 6.1, and need to connect to an exchange mail server running SMTP,
    to read emails. I have tried CFPOP, but it doesn't seem to work, I assume
    because it is meant for POP3 accounts(?). Is it possible to use CF to read
    emails via SMTP? Do I need to ask our techies to enable POP, and forward the
    emails to the POP3 account? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Andy Mather

    Are you sure SMTP is being used to *retrieve* email? Usually you would
    use IMAP or POP3 to retrieve and SMTP to send.

    Do you perhaps mean IMAP? SMTP is for outgoing mail so you wouldn't
    retrieve it--there's no such thing as an SMTP mailbox. Incoming mail is
    typically POP3 or IMAP. ColdFusion does not have built-in support for
    IMAP but I believe there are some add-on tools that would allow you to
    interact with IMAP mailboxes.
