POP's Connect method works OK but I cannot call Authenticate method passing PW and UID parameters. Control property sheet contains not Authenticate method but Autheticate event (snippet editor too). Otherwise in VB I can use Authenticate method/event separately. So, I wrote small VB executables to make connection, send/receive email and disconnect, and call these execs from VFP application. So far it works well.
