I decided to implement IMAP. My big goal in doing all of this is to make a program that gets the AOL mail and forwards it to GMAIL using just the MX records so that the From field in the Email is preserved. Attached is the IMAP program, tested on AOL, is able to retrieve unread read email header and body Imap_get.au3 Imap_get.au3 _Base64.au3 To Exit program click on Tray Icon and hit Exit then press Cancel. Any help/input is greatly appreciated! Used this for help http://networking.ringofs
