HTTP email with C# ?

[Paul M.]

My broadband ISP uses a HTTP server for email. The SmtpClient class sure is
easy to use and works great with a regular email server but no such luck with
the HTTP mail server. Does anyone know how to do this with C# Express 2005?

Technically that shouldn't be too hard -- use System.Net.HttpWebRequest
and System.Net.WebResponse. The more interesting part will be to figure
out how exactly the HTTP communication between client and server
actually works. This will require some reverse engineering using a
debugging proxy like Fiddler.
