Hi everyone,

I am planning on setting up a site that will do the following:

1) Users will be able to email pictures / video files to a specific mail address on my server.
2) Something on my server will then check that mailbox (every 5 min or whatever) for messages.
3) If there is a message in the mailbox, it will take the header information and put it into a database, and then it will save the attachment as a unique filename on the server (date&time of arrival or whatever), and then also put that filename into the database.

From there I will be able to handle all the ASP that needs to be done to get things to display on the site.

As to why I am doing this by email, its because its on a mobile phone and as of now you cant upload via the browser (at least here in Japan).

So is AspPop3 the way to go? Will that be able to handle everything I want it to, or will it just check the mailbox and return the header / attachment information to me, and then from there I'll need some other components to handle everything from there?

Thanks!

Chris

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, photokyo!

It doesn't look like we have anyone who uses AspPop3 here. But there is an evaluation download available, so why not try it and see if it does what you need? Sorry we couldn't be more help.
