Pop3SetServer ('mail.mydomain.com')
Or
Pop3SetServer ('192.168.12.175')
Next, you need to setup the user and password for the email account you will be retrieving email from. Your email administrator should supply you with a user name and password for an email account that can receive email. Once you have these, call Pop3SetUser() and supply these values like this:
Pop3SetRefresh(300,1) | // How often the check email server in |
Seconds and should I delete? |
|
Supplying a refresh time of 0 seconds disables automatic email retrieval. If you decide you want to retrieve email manually, all you need to do is call Pop3GetEmail(). Pop3GetEmail() takes 1 parameter: a flag (1 or 0) indicating if you want email deleted from the server. You can call Pop3GetEmail() even if you have setup for automatic email retrieval to force email to be retrieve. You might supply the user with a button to force email to be retrieved like this:
BUTTON_EVENT[dvPanel,6]
{
PUSH:
Pop3GetEmail(0);
}
You can check for the email to arrive by waiting for the offline message from the dvPop3Socket device.
sPop3EmailMessage is an array of structures containing the actual emails. The structure contains
the following items:
LmsgSize | The number of bytes in the email message. |
cFrom[] | A string containing the senders email address. |
cFromPersonal[] | The friendly name of the sender (if one was supplied). |
cTo[] | A string containing the recipient's email address or addresses. |
cToPersonal[] | The friendly name of the recipient if one was supplied. |
cDate[] | A string containing the data and time the email was sent. |
cSubject[] | The subject of the email. |
cMessage[] | The body of the email. |
NattachCount | The number of attachments to the email. |
cAttachments[][] | The names of the files attached. |
The subject and body are the items you need most in the structure. The count of file attachments tells you the total number of files attached but the cAttachments containing up to POP3_ATTACH_MAX (default is 5) file names. The attached files are not saved. Only the file names
are supplied for reference.
