Catalyst Internet Mail 8.0.8020.2136

Internet mail .NET and ActiveX components to send and retrieve e-mail messages

Catalyst Internet Mail includes both a .NET component and ActiveX control that provides an interface to e-mail services, allowing developers to easily implement this functionality in their own software without requiring general knowledge of network programming or specific application protocols. Instead of using separate controls to format, retrieve and send messages, you can use a single ActiveX or .NET component for much of the same functionality without the inherent complexity and coding.

For developers who are creating applications in Visual Basic 6.0, Visual FoxPro, PowerBuilder and other languages which do not use the .NET Framework, the Internet Mail ActiveX control provides a simplified interface that makes it easy to send and retrieve e-mail messages using standard Internet protocols. The Internet Mail ActiveX control is implemented as a standard COM component and is designed to be used with most Windows programming languages as well as various scripting languages. Any language which can host ActiveX controls or create instances of a COM object is capable of using the Internet Mail ActiveX control.

For developers who are creating .NET applications, the Internet Mail .NET component offers a comprehensive interface for sending e-mail messages, downloading them from a server and managing your mailbox remotely, all from within your application. If you are migrating your application to the .NET platform, the interface was designed to be similar the ActiveX control interface, simplifying the transition. The Internet Mail .NET component is designed to be used with languages such as Visual Basic .NET, C# and Delphi Prism and includes assemblies that target version 1.1 and later of the Common Language Runtime.
