How does one send an email to a POP3 Server from a CVI application.

[ElGabacho]

A desired enhancement of our existing SCADA application would send advisory emails to a customer when conditions warrant.

Each of the customers will enter the email address & password (if required?) to which they would like to receive advisory emails.

The app. is designed using LabWindows/CVI 9.0 base package.

Thanks for helping!!!!!

I am not sure how to do this in CVI but here is a link where you will find an example for LabVIEW. If this works then you can create dll in LabVIEW and call it from your cvi application.

InetSendMail should do what you want it's in 8.5, not sure when it was introduced. Interested to know if anyone has a code fragment of the TCP comms that I could use in 7.0...

Just learned something new about email protocols.

POP3 is to receive email.

SMTP is to send email.

Yes, CVI has built in library to do both. (Internet library)

Unfortunately, according to this page the internet library is not included in the base package. The same as Win32 API interface.

I'm afraid there is no solution but calling a separate library to send mail...

Thanks everybody!

Looks like I'll have to hit up the money lady for the upgrade.
