Description
The MAILOPEN() function is used to connect to the specified mail server. The mail type POP3 should be used for reading mail, and SMTP/ESMTP used for sending mail.
| Parameters | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| <expC1> | Yes | None | The node name or IP address of the mail server |
| <expC2> | Yes | None | The user name with which to connect to the mail server. For ESMTP, this must be Base64 encoded. |
| <expC3> | Yes | None | The password for the user name. For ESMTP, this must be Base64 encoded. |
| <expC4> | No | POP3 | The mail protocol type. POP3, SMTP and ESMTP are the currently supported protocols. |
| <expN1> | No | 25 | The SMTP/ESMTP port number. |
If successful the MAILOPEN() will return .T., otherwise .F.. The MAILERROR() function can be used to return the error message if the MAILOPEN() fails.
Example
// Open POP3 for reading mail m_open = mailopen("mailserver.company.com", "username", "password", "POP3") if not m_open dialog box mailerror() else // process mail mailclose() endif // Open SMTP for sending m_open = mailopen("mailserver.company.com","username","password", "SMTP") if not m_open dialog box mailerror() else //process mail mailclose() endif
