What is FreePOP?
FreePOP is an ActiveX control that allows read and delete access to a POP3 mailbox
and the messages in the mailbox. This ActiveX control was developed with
Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0-SP4.
What is new?
Version 4.0.1 was released on August 7, 2000.
Bugs fixed
- In some situations (notably when the CPU was near 100%) that FreePOP would cause a runtime error of 40006 when the .Connect method was executing.
- Some headers were not being processed correctly if there were other similar headers.
- If values for POPPort, MsgCount, or MsgSizeInK were greater than 32,767 a runtime error would occur. These variables have been converted to be of type Long rather than Integer.
Changes
- Previously, the message headers and size of the message were read during the .SetCurrentMsg method. This caused unnecessary overhead for anyone just wanting to see if there were new email messages since last check (by keeping track of each message's .MsgUniqueID property and checking on successive calls). The headers and size of the message are now read on demand by retrieving one of the following properties: MsgHeaders, MsgSubject, MsgFrom, MsgReturnPath, MsgReplyTo, MsgDate, MsgSizeInK, or the GetOtherHeader method). Existing programs should function the same, but it would be wise to now check the .Error property after utilizing one of the above listed properties for the first time following a .SetCurrentMsg method call.
- The display name of the control (Seen from the Components selection dialog) has been changed from "Glenn Harm's FreePOP ...." to "FreePOP ..."
- An event named MsgReadStatus has been added. This event is raised as messages are being read and can be used to display status of the current message being downloaded. Status information available is:
- Message read so far (in K)
- Message size (in K)
- Percent completed
