| I have two links for POP3 commandshttp://www.good-stuff.co.uk/useful/pop3.phphttp://www.orangehedgehog.com/resources/content.php?show=pop3_commandsHere I couldn't find anything to search for a string in the body of a message. Or can I use any of it for that purpose? If yes, please help me how to do it.Sujith S |

| You can't do it. You have to retrieve the body of the message and do your own searching.DamianIta erat quando hic adveni. |

| I think we can do it. I have seen search in mail body in mail.yahoo.com and gmail.com. Its also there in IMail server's web interface.Also its practically wrong to download all the mails including their body to the client machine. Body should be downloaded only when one user views the mail. In yahoo and gmail, I dont think they are dowloading the mail fully to the client machine.I hope there is some possibility that the search can be conducted in the mailserver on the body of the mail.Sujith S |

You are wrong.quote:

They are recieving the mail via SMTP and storing them in a database. A database lets you index and search text. The are displaying emails by connecting their web interface to a POP3 server.DamianIta erat quando hic adveni. |

| This is the rfc for the POP3 protocol.http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1939.txtThere is no POP3 command to search. You WILL have to download the body of the messages.DamianIta erat quando hic adveni. |

| Sure...This is the one I tried to configure.http://anmar.eu.org/projects/sharpwebmail/I got it from http://sourceforge.net/But now the link is not working. I don't know why.So, if you have any idea, please share it.(I think I have put the query in ASP.NET forum in SQLTeam. Database queries have a different forum in SQLTeam.)Sujith S |

| The site is down.From the description on Freshmeat.net, Sharpwebmail uses pop and imap so it probably won't let you search either, most webmail packages only open mails on request.I think you are going to have to write this yourself.DamianIta erat quando hic adveni. |
