Overview

The EasyMail Objects were built with state-of-the-art technologies including Visual C++ and ATL. They are small, stable, efficient, and fast. Each object consists of only one small file to ship.

Features

The EasyMail objects maintain strict coherence with the Internet e-mail RFCs and supports all the latest enhancements including:

• SMTP
• ESMTP
• POP3
• APOP
• IMAP4
• MIME formats
• Base64 and UUencoded file attachments
• Base64 and quoted printable messages
• All International Character Sets
• HTML/RTF/Plain Message Formats
• Multiple recipients, carbon copies, blind carbon copies
• Embedded GIF, AVI and other content types
• SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4 conversation logging to events or files
• Custom Priorities
• Return Receipts
• Custom mail headers and much, much more...

The EasyMail Objects may be embedded in your application, and distributed in unlimited quantities, royalty free.

The EasyMail Objects can be used for server side processing in ASP files, and Pearl scripts. They can also be used in any other COM compatible application i.e. VC++ or Visual Basic.

The EasyMail Objects generate Internet e-mail using the SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) and retrieve Internet e-mail using the POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) and IMAP4 (Internet Message Access Protocol) protocols. Each of the three components were written in Visual C++ using ATL. The result is a set of extremely small, fast and efficient COM objects. The EasyMail Objects are designed to run on 32-Bit Windows implementations running on Intel processors.

Supported Development Platforms

Each object is 32-bit COM object that can behave as in-process OLE automation server or as an OCX. Almost every development environment on the Windows platform supports the use of this type of object.

The EasyMail Objects work with C, C++, ASP, Visual Basic, VB Script, VBA, Access, Internet Explorer and any other ActiveX/COM/OLE compatible development system.

Scalability

The EasyMail Objects scale efficiently to large multi-user systems. They were designed from the ground up to behave well in multi-user environments. Each object instance carries a minimal memory footprint, allowing many simultaneous sessions without running into memory constraints.

Environment & Container Compatibility

ASP, CGI, & ISAPI

The EasyMail Objects have no user interface, which allows them to work well on servers. In addition we have gone to lengths to minimize the memory footprint of each object.

VB, VBA

The EasyMail Objects are embedded with a full type library. The objects also expose collection objects for managing their internal collections of data, for example, a list of recipients or messages.

Other Containers

EasyMail strictly adheres to the ActiveX/COM guidelines so it will work well with any ActiveX/COM compatible development environment.
