I am trying to develop a new app. but I need some advise. This is a description of what I am trying to acheive:
1) Create an email and send via a companies SMTP Server (the email is sent using a created email address MRCS@address.com)
2) List and read the content of all email in the MRCS@address.com mailbox.
I am able to send the emails, without a problem by the user specifying the SMTP server IP address and port number. However I do have a few questions:
1) Is ONLY the IP address and port number of the SMTP server required to send an email, or can some companies use username/password??
2) How am I able to check the emails in the MRCS@address.com inbox?
3) The companies would be responsible for creating the MRCS@address.com email address and could use any avaliable email client e.g. MS Outlook, Lotus Notes etc. so my code needs to be able to read the email inbox regardless of system.
As you have probably noticed I am not use to working with email and therefore really need some guide and advise, but also some help in coding it?
Thanks in advance
