ASPPOP3 Component?

[homeacademy]

I am having difficulty using the ASPPOP3 component.

I cannot even get the simple code snippet from the ServerObjects website to work:

[quote]
'############BegincodetakenfromServerObjectwebsite ##############

SetMailer=Server.CreateObject("POP3svg.Mailer")
Mailer.RemoteHost="mail.*****.org"
Mailer.UserName="********@*****.org"
Mailer.Password="**********"
Mailer.OpenPop3

remWecoulddomultipleretrievesherebutthisdemoonlysh owsthe
remselectedmessage.


Mailer.Retrieve1
Mailer.ClosePop3

'############ENDcodetakenfromServerObjectwebsite## ############

response.write"MessageCount:"&Mailer.MessageCount&"
"
response.write"Subject:"&Mailer.Subject
</CODE>

Upon running this code, I get:

[quote]
MessageCount:1
Subject:
</CODE>

This is true for any of the Mailer properties (FromAddress, MessageBody, etc) -- they return null. The above snippet I copied straight from ServerObject. There is one short test message in the account. For some reason, Message Count does return correctly, but nothing else does. Am I doing something wrong, or is the component malfunctioning? Any assistance is appreciated.

Sorry, late night.....
Since you are POPing, your original setting was correct. It should be set to mail.*****.org

Your code looks okay. You may want to display other properties of the email header, eg mailer.fromaddress. If you have a blank subject line, your result will be blank.

No problem. I was pretty sure the code was correct, since I took it straight from ServerObject. EVERY property I try to display is null (FromAddress, MessageID, BodyText, everything). I just don't understand. I have set up a test account, sent only one message to it, with nothing else in the account -- it still doesn't work. What should I try next?

try using: localhost
instead of: mail.*****.org

[homeacademy]

I changed it to Mailer.RemoteHost = "localhost"

Now the script just hangs for awhile, then returns this:

[quote]
MessageCount:0

ActiveServerPageserror'ASP0113'

/antispam/testmailer.asp

Themaximumamountoftimeforascripttoexecutewasexceed ed.Youcanchangethislimitbyspecifyinganewvalueforth epropertyServer.ScriptTimeoutorbychangingthevaluei ntheIISadministrationtools.</CODE>

The message count is incorrect (there's still a message there) and the script times out. I tried it several times. What next?

Serverobjects.com sucks! Anyone agree say IIIIIIIIIII!

Makes even wonder about discountASP! Do they even bother to ensure that good support is available for the damn software before buying it, f#uck!

Anyhows, here's a 2 and half maybe 2 day saver tip for you

Try using the RetrieveToMemory! method instead - Mailer.RetrieveToMemory

Microsoft has dropped their support for CDONTS. Best to move to CDO or any of the email components that we offer.

try using CDOnts if you are unhappy with this mail component. Both work for me fine for the past few years.

I have been away from ASp for a few months now, whats CDO?
My mailing list is still using Cdonts as we speak. The other mail components never worked on my previous server, ill give it a try on this one as soon as I get a chance.
