ASPPop3 (Server Objects) fails to return email details

Rich_C · Jul 31, 2005

Can anyone tell me why this code doesn't work? The original came from
an example in this group, but was modified slightly when the original
failed to return message details.

I am able to connect to the server and see the number of messages on
the server, but message details (sender, subject, body, etc.) are not
returned.

_______________
Dim Mailer
Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("POP3svg.Mailer")
Mailer.RemoteHost = "mail.xxxx.com"
Mailer.UserName = "(e-mail address removed)"
Mailer.Password = "pwd"
Mailer.OpenPop3
Dim iMessages
iMessages = Mailer.MessageCount
Response.Write "There are " & iMessages & " messages on the
server.<p>"

Dim iLoop

Response.Write "<table border=1 align=center cellspacing=1>"
Response.Write
"<tr><th> </th><th>Subject</th><th>From</th></tr>"

For iLoop = 1 to iMessages
'If Mailer.Retrieve(iLoop) then
Mailer.Retrieve iloop

Response.Write "<tr>"
Response.Write "<td><a href=""readMessage.asp?ID=" & iLoop &
""">Read</a></td>"
Response.Write "<td>" & Mailer.Subject & "</td>"
Response.Write "<td>" & Mailer.FromName & " (<a href=""mailto:"""
& Mailer.FromAddress & """>" & Mailer.FromAddress & "</a>)</td>"
Response.Write "</tr>"
'End If

Next

Response.Write "</table>"

Mailer.ClosePop3

Thanks Dave -
Even if I only try to display one part of the email (Subject, FromName,
etc.) nothing is returned.

Did you look at the HTML, as Dave suggested? Or, are you assuming nothing
was returned because you don't see it on the page?

I looked at the HTML. View Source for the page shows:
_____________________
<html>
<head>
<head>
<body>

There are 18 messages on the server.<p><table border=1 align=center
cellspacing=1><tr><th> </th><th>Subject</th><th>From</th></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr></table>
</body>
</html>

I hate to revisit this old issue, but I have a question about how mail
servers assign email IDs. This script attempts to retrieve mail with
ID 1 to n with n being the number of messages on the server for the
account.

Can anyone tell me how Email IDs are assigned? Is it likely that the
first message isn't number 1 and therefore my script returns nothing?
If this is the case, is it possible to determine which email IDs are in
the mailbox so they can be retrieved?

If it makes a difference, the account in question is on a shared server
and the script does not produce any errors when it runs.
