What's new in V2.x?

PowerTCP Mail for ActiveX now also includes 6 VB.NET samples. All of these samples have VB6 counterparts so that VB.NET and VB6 functionality can be easily compared. To provide a live demonstration of the functionality developers can expect by combining PowerTCP products with the .NET Framework, including an HTML mail client using the Code Behind functionality of ASP.NET. This sample application imitates the functionality of popular Web mail clients such as Hotmail. By combining the flexibility and ease-of-use of PowerTCP Mail for ActiveX with the power of ASP.NET. This latest release now also includes a new debugging application called the Debug Server. This server application is based upon one of Dart's own internal testing tools and is designed to help developers debug their client-side applications by being able to see the message sent from a client application. Then, a developer can respond to the client application with a customized response message sent from the server. This server application will run on any Windows 32-bit platform and is especially helpful when trying to ascertain if a problem is code related or connection related.

Dart’s PowerTCP Mail for ActiveX V2.1 includes the functionality to send, retrieve, preview and mail messages using simple properties and methods and e-mail verification capability. In addition, PowerTCP Mail for ActiveX V2.1 now lets you manage attachments much more easily and handles very large messages (megabytyes) more efficiently for improved performance in demanding environments.

The SMTP Component sends mail, the POP Component downloads mail, the IMAP Component manages mail on the server, and the Message object encodes/decodes your mail on-the-fly. If you have experienced the pain of dealing with multi-part MIME messages, you'll appreciate the new Message object.

• SMTP Component - Use this control to send messages to any SMTP server. Enhanced SMTP commands are automatically supported. A message can even be constructed and sent with one line of code
• POP Component - Use this control to download messages from any POP3 server. By default, all messages are downloaded into a single collection of message objects
• IMAP Component - Use this control to manage and download messages from any IMAP4 server. A local object model makes remote mail management easy, with no knowledge of IMAP4 commands required
• Message Object - Takes any MIME message and decodes it into an object representation you can easily deal with. Every attachment, part, and label element is accurately represented as an object, giving you un-surpassed processing convenience. Performs encoding too, so you can pass messages between the POP, IMAP, and SMTP controls

Benefits & Features

• Comprehensive support for multi-byte characters added with version 2.0.39
• Detailed knowledge of SMTP, POP3, IMAP4 and MIME is not required
• Enhanced SMTP commands such as 8BITMIME, PIPELINING, SIZE and Delivery Status Notifications are automatically used if advertised by the server
• The Message object provides a precise object representation of any e-mail message. This formatting object supports easy manipulation of simple and complex (even nested) MIME messages
• Controls maintain small memory footprints, even while encoding/decoding large messages in memory
• Encoded/decoded messages need not be spooled to disk, making this product a real performer for messages buffered in memory
• Supports mail address verification
• One method call builds and sends a message
