Does anyone know of a simple way to check email from VFP? I would like to be able to have a VFP form running minimized that uses a timer to dial up, sign on, and check email every X minutes. (I realize there may be email packages that provide this, but I need to do this from VFP at predetermined time intervals without interaction from a user.)

I have looked at the MAPI controls and I'm not sure I have an understanding of what I need to do to accomplish this. The Solutions sample shows sending email, but I have not been able to make succesful modifications to it. A third-party control is an option.

Thanks for any assistance,
