Reading and parsing mails via POP3

[KellyLynch]

Hi

Please help me choose a component for the following task

I have C++ Win32-application (MS Visual C++ 2005 or 2008) that must:
- periodically (say once in 5 min) check a mailbox via POP3
- retrieve new messages from there, process them (the processing is
specific for the my task) and remove the processed messages.
The processing converts body of received mail into plain text (WCHAR*
string). I mean: to convert removing formatting elements like HTML
tags (when a mail is in HTML format) etc., leaving only text. Now I am
not interested in content of attachments - I need only mail's text.

The question is: do you know a component that can solve the task too?
Or: one component to read POP3, another one for extracting text from
received e-mail. The components may be commercial ones (my employer is
rich enough to pay for them ;-)

Did you have a C++ language question? Try a newsgroup with "windows"
or
"microsoft" in its name.
