Hi salin,

I can't open your archive (pop.zip), it looks like it is corrupted, could you check and re-post it please ?

Use trhe STAT command. See RFC1939 for details:

What is "amount of  email"?

Do you want the total number of messages or the size of each message???

[salin]

yes, I mean the total number of  messages not the size of each message.

Hi salin,
does this VI work ? I tries it with my yahoo.fr account but couldn't get it to work... is there a trick ?

I put the same information as for ThunderBird (account, password pop server), thunderbird works, but not your vi...

The total number of messages is the just output from the "array size" node going to the "=0" in your mail browser VI.

If you want to know the total number of messages before downloading, you could modify your "Get all messages.vi" to send and parse the stat command.
