Good luck. One more thread...

wwIPStuff doesn't support encrypted authentication - it only supports base64 (clear) encoding.
+++ Rick ---

Hello,

I would like to use the email features of wwIPStuff, I downloaded the product to see if it would would with my app. Everything works good unless the email server requires a that you log on using 'secure password authentication', I send the user name and password but still get an error. I have looked to see where I set that to true but cannot find it.

>>That was the problem. I was passing the username and password in the POP3 Connect and then again in the SMTP sendmail. What I don't see is the connection between the logins and invalid base64 data. Nice job.
>>Login data is sent to the server in Base64 format. So the problem is that you were passing login info were none was requested or supported...

>>You might want to update to that latest version of wwIPStuff as there have been a few tweaks to the authentication code base. However with VFP 7 there should be no problem. This would also make sure that there are no version issues between the DLL and the VCX classes.
