Thank you very much for your help. I just downloaded the latest version of WCONNECT and am extracting the WWIPSTUFF.VC?. Will try with it. If it does not work, maybe my ISP requires encrypted authentication. I just wish I understood what "encrypted authentication" is <g>.

>>>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.

>>>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.
