RetrievePOP3

Post by pgriffin » Thu Jul 14, 2005 2:36 am

Using this command for the first time and everything seemed to work great, but I didn't get the body or the email. Just got all the metadata.

Of course, I can ask my customer if the body of the email is also missing on their server, or is there a switch I've missed?

I used the lines of code directly from the example in Help. and YES I did replace the server name and password with the correct info.

thanks.

I have seen the emails and they do exist and looks like the data is complete. Now I am lost.

PLEASE, has anyone ever seen this happen? I am only getting the header data, not the body of the emails. Is there an email reader I should be using instead of RetrievePOP3?

HELP!

The Resolution:

I don't know why, but when my customer forwarded emails to the MSExchange address they wanted me to read, the body of the email never came across. Once the Web Store provider re-routed the emails directly to the address, the body of the email came into the text file (MSGx.txt, etc...) perfectly.

NEVER USE 'FORWARD' When loading test emails to be used with RetrievePOP3.
