Email is the most popular media for communication on Internet.
This application is consist of two protocols,
- POP 3
POP 3 protocol is usually used for retriving mail from email
server (which is a POP server). I allready submitted a class
which wrapper the POP 3 protocol. For official description of the
protocol you can consult with RFC 1225.
- SMTP
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used for sending email
to it destination. For details about SMTP protocol you can refere
to RCF 821 . My new contribution is wrapper class for SMTP
protocol. I did not completely implemented the SMTP protocol but
you can used it in any application which is sending mail through
SMTP protocol.
This class has several methods. I choice the names of the
methods same as the SMTP commands, so that it can be easily
understandable. In this class again I used CSocket as class
member (surperise not inherent it), so that I can used it in
Threads. Following is code of the class with comments.

Here the samll implementation of the class,
CSMTP m_smtp; m_smtp.Connect("khi.compol.com","aasif@khi.compol.com"); m_smtp.Mail("aasif@khi.compol.com"); m_smtp.SetTo("zafir@home.com"); m_smtp.Data("test message","This is a test message ... "); m_smtp.Disconnect();
