Hi,

I wish to create an Email enabled helpdesk application. This application allows user to:

1) Receive email for helpdesk email id. 

2) Send / Reply to email enquiries using application .

3) Analyse emails which are not yet responded.

4) The replies message received and reply sent to be mapped with log as attachment / link for future review.

 

In short, I wish to retrieve Inbox and Sent Item in my application and do some processing based on reply sent etc. 

I have managed to use smtp to send bulk emails and MAPI for inbox items retrieval. I found Mapi relies on mail account profile on your local machine. I need a solution which is flexible and can be used for cloud apps. 

Kindly suggest a solution or interface to use with some reference links or code exchange suggestions.

Kind regards,

Falguni

TopWhiz has a free PowerBuilder code sample for POP3:

They also have a fork of my PBNI extension to do SMTP:

Hi Falguni, I think for whatever solution you use you'll need a mailbox somewhere on a server (locally or in the cloud).  Then you could retrieve the mailbox items using either POP3 or IMAP which are the standard email protocols for retrieving email.  I think someone asked a similar question recently so if you do a search on POP3 or IMAP you might find some suggestions.
