How can I retrieve emails from a service like Yahoo! Mail? [Print this FAQ]
Answer:
Many Web-based email providers (as well as ISPs), allow individuals to view their email through the POP3 protocol. This protocol specifies how emails should be retrieved from an email inbox.
By default, ASP provides no mechanism for retrieving emails via the POP3 protocol. Therefore, to access a POP3 email account via an ASP page you will either need to build or buy a POP3 component.
