vuMail 3.1 has over 65 functions you can use to manage email

vuMail is built on Microsoft's Colaboration Data Objects (CDO), version 2.  A proven technology that uses SMTP to send emails, and comes pre-loaded and pre-configured on every PC running Windows XP or greater.  And uses POP3 to read and manage incoming emails on your POP3 email account.

vuMail DOES NOT use Outlook Express or Windows Mail to send email, and DOES NOT REQUIRE that you have an Outlook Express or Windows Mail account configured or defined.  But since vuMail uses CDO, it is capable of using some of the information defined in an Outlook Express (or Windows Mail) account.

Like all email managers, vuMail does require some information about your email account (typically UserId and Password).  To add you and your customers in configuring your application to use email, vuMail includes a freely distributable Email Setup and Test program (included as both an executable and as Clarion 6.3 source code).  In addition, vuMail also includes several helpful functions for validating and extracting email addresses.  vuExtractEmailAddr() will extract an email from a string.  vuValidateEmailAddr() will validate an email address for proper format.

IMPORTANT NOTES
vuMail requires Windows 2000 or greater and a POP3 email account in order to receive and read incoming emails.

vuMail can handle the following email standard security types (other 3rd party types are not supported)
  - Annonymous (like most individual email accounts)
  - Basic (UserID & Password with or without SSL - such as used for gMail, etc.)
  - NTLM (Windows Security)
