Read Email with ASP?

Hello,

Is there a way to read email messages with ASP without installing components?
And will it work with any email server, or just windows IIS?

Something that will work almost like Webmail.
But I just need to read the From, Subject and Body of the email.

Thanks for any help.

A qualified yes.

Anything normally. Most (okay, everyone I know of but there may be
odd ones) SMTP servers will have a text file for the message received,
as will most POP servers for at least some point in their process.
Reading a text file using FSO is trivial, and parsing for the proper
headers isn't that hard.

Why not use Webmail...?
But I just need to read the From, Subject and Body of the email.


This depends on your system, whether you're talking POP or SMTP, and
many other factors. Look on your system for the queue folder and look
at the files in it. You may need to program some sort of sink to grab
the files, or you may be able to simply read them at will.

I'm having trouble finding any kind of tutorial. From the bit of searching I've done,...

Just looking for suggestion on how to do this in my Web application. The goal is to keep track of what a user has and hasn't read and present him or her with new material I am currently doing this by aggregating new content from all databases into a single indexed database and then saving a timestamp in the account database (for the current user) that tells me when the user last read items in the aggregated database.

Hi, I would like to start a new process and be able to read/write from/to it. I have tried things like... import subprocess as sp p = sp.Popen("cmd.exe", stdout=sp.PIPE) p.stdin.write("hostname\n") however, it doesn't seem to work. I think the cmd.exe is catching it.

I just reinstalled .NET 2003 (after repeated attempts to get ASP.NET Web Applications to work). I first did a complete uninstall of .NET 2003, .NET Framework 1.1, and IIS.

Greetings everyone! I am creating a webcontrol that reads one or more directorie's content and displays all the filenames (tipically PDFs or PPTs) so that the user can select the desired one and see the content. We call it FileBrowser (oh so clever) The purpose of this control is to display security bulletins, tutorials, user manuals on a corporate Intranet. So far so good.

I got a problem with serial port read which I use like this: sp.Read (byteBuffer, 0, 100); but the problem is that it returns before it has read the 100 bytes - is there a way to set up the port in a syncronious state so that it wont return before it has finished? And no - I can't use the work around to smaple until I got all 100 bytes read because I use the timeout option in my app. Thanks
