Hi,
I'm currently considering the MailBee ActiveX component.
I'm looking to dialup to a server, and use IMAP4 & SMTP to recieve & send emails.
I have 2 questions.
First, would the MailBee product handle the dialing out and establishing the connection, or would I have to write something seperate to establish the connection first and then start using MailBee to send & recieve?
Second, does MailBee handle if the line is dropped. IE not recieving a bad/partial message, not marking an incomplete message as read, trying again, etc?

MailBee Objects cannot establish dial-up connection, it works through already established TCP/IP connection and doesn't matter if this dial-up, ethernet, or another type of network connection. Thus, your application should establish dial-up connection prior to using MailBee Objects.

MailBee Objects has safe error handling and your application can control the status of each its action. Each method can signal if an error occurred, moreover, you can check IsError, ErrCode, ErrDesc properties of SMTP or IMAP4 objects to know the error reason. There shouldn't be any problems if the line is dropped.
