Is there more than one kind of email server? For example, I use a VFP routine that reads the email from a linux-based email server, I don't know nothing more than its IP address, the port, the email address, its account, and its password. Oh, and that routine I copied and modified from an article that was published in UT Magazine some time ago.

>>I have an application that needs to know when a new e-mail message has arrived to a certain e-mail account and automatically download the attached files. I already know how to download attached files from an e-mail message, but I really need to download those attached files as soon as the e-mail message has arrived to the e-mail server. Can anybody help me on this?
