Flex 2 - POP3 Protocol Example by Simon Barber
Simon created this example to allow direct POP3 connections using flash.net.Socket. The example allows you to check your mailbox remotely or add webmail into a corporate application. Great work Simon!

This example is available with full source and documentation within Flex® by Example.
More to come.

Hi,
Yeah it is fairly easy now to build such things with AS3 and Macromedia Flash Player 8.5
I also built similar client to connect to POP3 and SMTP and executing commands.
But I think, there is more to do, a way to get list of messages, getting from, to and subject etc from entire header... Probably that kind of POP3 class in AS3 can be used directly...
I would post my implementation as soon as I add those things...

Is it possible to do secure socket connections?
Al,
Althought the code is based on the Flex 2 Alpha, we will be updating the apps for the Flex 2 Public Beta, for the release version, and if we find bugs or issues arrise.

Abdul,
There is always room to make things simpler within an API or higher level Flex Tags:
<ifbin:POP3 server="mail.ifbin.com"/>
Looking forward to seeing your version Abdul.
Cheers,
Ted
