Hi,
I want to read only the new mails (or unread or unseen) messages from the mail server using the Winsock control & using TCP. But I am not able to do it. I am getting all the messeges from the server, read messeges as well as new messeges. I tried to find out the solution but not succeeded. Can anybody help me? please !!!

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shashikant

One option would be to have your program keep track of the messages it has already collected (for example, a collection of message UIDLs). Then, when you have logged in to the server, send a UIDL command. The server will return a list of UIDLs. You could then compare this list with your collection, and then only Get the new messages.

Hi there!
In order to read unseen mail I tryed to use the above mentioned "UIDL " using
Tcp1.Receive S
Page = Page + s.
The last unique identifier expected was
803 3021-989912021 (803 mails in the mailbox) but all I get is the list truncated at position 78 and not 803. It seems to be a buffer problem but I've no idea to solve the problem. Could U help ?
