Pop3 email UDFs

[theguy0000]

Well, I searched around, then I asked around, but nobody seemed to have ever made pop3 functions for AutoIt. And ta-da, pop3.au3

It's just a starter, of course. Right now all it can do is connect, log in, check number of messages, size of mailbox, and retrieve messages (which I'm not sure is completely perfect). I still need to make it able to delete messages. Also, I have no idea how to make it support connections that require SSL (like gmail). If anyone knows that, I'd be glad to hear it...

Note: You must TcpStartup () bvefore using any pop3 functions and also TcpShutdown at the end of the script.

Anyway, here is a list of the functions:

The Code box is only listing functions, The .au3 file contains actual code.

Definately not your fault then, I blame it on the 12 pack I had before I read the post, and the 6 pack I had after words trying to decipher what you just said , but alas, I understand and can take a look
