[VB.Net] Create mail checker for POP3 SSL - how?

[anog]

hi there guys.

I'm creating a VB.Net app that checks if you have new mail - a bit like Gmail Notifier but for any server you want.

For POP3 the code is working.

My question is, how can I make my program support secure POP3? Where can I find info on that?

I don't want binaries, I would like to code it myself for the learning experience... I searched Google and Neowin but found nothing...

Thank you in advance!

First of all, I can't tell you exactly how to do it, since I don't know. However I can offer you suggestions on finding the info through google.

You should search for .NET + SSL, and .NET + email or .NET + POP, SMTP, etc.

Wish I had MSDN installed - just reinstalled; that is a resource I definitely suggest you goto and is easily accessible online at msdn.com. On MSDN you may be more specific with searches like VB + SSL VB + POP.

These tips should get you on the right path.
