Don't make it too complicated.
There is no reply I think because the people don't understand why you want a complicated solution but you could do a simple one.
Hello, I am looking for some sample code for a simple POP3 email reader. I have a few online accounts that send an OTP (One Time Password) to to verify it's me.
If we are watching a movie and the feed suddenly decides it needs to verify, I have to go up to the office, fire up my main PC and load the email system and check for emails, memorize the code and go back down and enter it.
I'd like a minimalist POP reader I can put on the Home Theater PC and double-click the icon for it to get just the emails for some hard-coded sites and display the contents.
Can someone please point me at some sample code? I feel sure there must be some example programs out there but my searching so far, has returned nothing helpful.
Here's all the information you need to build yourself your own "simple POP3 email reader":Don't make it too complicated.Exactly and you guys so far haven't got the gist of a single click idea. I don't want to leave my main PC running all the time just to VNC into it. Which, by the way I could already do. But, even if I did I would still have to go through the loading email client, requesting emails and closing it after memorizing the OTP etc.
I want a small POP3 system that when I double click the icon it
opens/runs
connects to my email ISP-server
downloads only the specific email account emails.
displays the first line of all emails downloaded.
I memorize the OTP
Waits 2-minutes then closes itself.
In that time I have entered the OTP into the feed request and everyone is happy.
It's called automation! By the time I created the OP and now explained this all so far I could have written the thing. I give up.
I am not a parott that repeats documentation. Both Indy and Synapse have examples and documentation. Four letter acromym that starts with R and ends with M. >:D
But here you go, your laziness (don't EVER ask such questions again without at least a google attempt by yourself):

Don't use SSLv3, it's insecure.

Um, why not simply have your email on a cell phone or tablet, and then keep that device handy
OpenXP ?
Or, there are plenty of 3rd party low-overhead POP3/IMAP checkers available (shameless plug: I used to use MailCheck myself - http://remy.lebeausoftware.org in the "Files" section - which was made by a friend of a friend).
