Internals

Some internals of the demo are hard to find, I am going to list them here.

Folders
Below the executable a folder named 'Mailboxes' is created.
In that folder all the user folders will be created and the send-archive folder named 'SentMails'.

Internal Mail-Accounts
They are kept in a StringList which is initialized in POP3DBMod.FillUserList (called within the initialization phase).
Right now, the only user is 'Thats.MySelf', password is 'Top_Secret' and the folder to store the mail in is named 'MyMailBox'. This user is associated with the email address 'maildemo@nerdshack.com' which I created to be used for testing purposes. The only limitations are: all of you together may not send more than 100 mails per day via this account and you must set the from-address to 'maildemo@nerdshack.com' or your mail will be rejected (good thing to test for errors in transmission). The password to access the nerdshack mail-account is '646WJ8EE'.
To connect to the Internal POP3 and SMTP servers with Microsoft Outlook (which is a Trademark of Microsoft Corp. and will not be mentioned in this document anymore) just fill in the IP-Address of the computer where you run the Program on. If it is the very same you want to run your mailclient (not mentioned again), just fill in the IP-Address '127.0.0.1' which always addresses your local computer you.

Indy is 'alive' which means it is undergoing changes and extensions. This demo was built for Indy version 10 and right in the middle of the coding, some of the Indy interfaces have been changed and, I'm afraid, will change some more until the new version will be released officially. So you have to download and install a working development snapshot of the Indy-project to work with this demo. Have a look at www.indyproject.org
I will try to follow up any changes in the interfaces, so it would be good to look from time to time for an update of these files.
The idea has come up, to transfer this project to sourceforge and let it grow. Sounds good, but this can be a little bit too early yet.

So enjoy yourself!
