I have this code to get the messages from a mail server, but whenever I try
to connect it gives me the error "Cast from string " " to type 'Double' is
not valid." Why is it doing this?
Here is a sample of the vars I pass to the connect procedure:
myClient.Connec t("mail.server. com", "user_name" , "password")
<script runat="server">

sRes = GetWebResponse( )
If Not (sRes.Substring (0, 3) = "+OK") Then
Throw New Pop3Exception(" H1: " & sRes)
End If
message = "USER " & username & Microsoft.Visua lBasic.Chr(13) &
