The Pop3Hot gateway application is an innovative new solution to access AOL, MSN, Hotmail or Yahoo from any e-mail application or utility, allowing users to complement the conventional browser interface with alternate e-mail applications, automated rule processing, advanced anti-virus or spam protection tools. Designed as a native Windows service application, Pop3Hot operates equally well for users with a single computer, in a small home network, on an organizational's network, or a public server. Pop3Hot complements and extends the AOL, MSN, Hotmail or Yahoo browser interface with the capabilities of popular e-mail applications like Outlook, Eudora, IncrediMail, TheBat as well as specialized tools like SpamKiller, PDAs or handheld computers. Pop3Hot supports sending and receiving of AOL, MSN, Hotmail or Yahoo over the standard Internet protocols POP3 and SMTP. A unique capability of Pop3Hot is the IMAP4 interface for true message synchronization and full folder support. By using Pop3Hot's IMAP interface, users can achieve true synchronization of all email with multiple applications and from multiple workplaces. In a typical scenario, users might be using MS Outlook in their office; on the road, they might be using a laptop or Pocket PC for a quick check without the risk of creating multiple, unsynchronized copies of incoming messages. Pop3Hot helps users during the transition from other providers. The supported Internet standard protocols facilitate continued use of all application they have learned to know over the years. Although Pop3Hot does not perform any rules processing on its own, it enables to use the rules and filter engines which are built into many other applications, thus complementing AOL, MSN, Hotmail or Yahoo's basic spam filter mechanism. Users can guard themselves against being sent damaging code in e-mail by setting appropriate security levels in their application.

SocketTools Scripting Edition   
http://www.catalyst.com

SocketTools Scripting Edition consists of Component Object Model (COM) libraries designed primarily for use in scripting languages such as VBScript, JavaScript and PHP. While the interface to the Scripting Edition components is similar to the ActiveX controls in the Visual Edition, the internal design has significant differences. The Scripting Edition components do not have the inherent overhead of ActiveX controls and they implement a threading model that makes them much more efficient to use with Active Server Pages (ASP) and similar environments. Unlike other software development toolkits which may use complicated data structures or require a complex interdependency between objects, the SocketTools interface is designed to be simple to understand and use. For example, there are no language specific constructs like C unions in our Library Edition API. By focusing on providing a clean interface that only requires intrinsic data types and simple structures, SocketTools can be used in a wide variety of programming languages beyond just C and C++. Likewise, our Visual and Scripting Edition components implement a straight-forward interface that is designed to be compatible with virtually any language that can use COM objects.

The Catalyst Internet Mail ActiveX control enables developers to easily integrate e-mail functionality within their applications. The control implements the standard protocols for sending, receiving and composing Internet e-mail messages, and can be used in a wide variety of programming languages which support ActiveX components. Designed specifically for rapid application development, a single component provides a flexible, comprehensive interface without requiring that the developer use several controls and write additional code to integrate them. A simpler, unified interface means fewer lines of source code, less complexity and reduced maintenance costs, allowing developers to focus on their core application. Advanced features, such as multiple authentication methods and delivery status notification, are also part of the standard feature set of the control. Complex messages, such as those which contain both plain and styled text as well as multiple file attachments, can be easily created and processed with just a few lines of code. The control also supports encrypted message delivery and retrieval using the SSL/TLS protocol for those developers who require security features. The Catalyst Internet Mail control was developed using the core technologies in the SocketTools family of products, and is based on a solid foundation of award-winning software which conforms to standard protocols and has been market tested since 1995. The product includes example programs, a printable Developer's Guide and Technical Reference as well as context-sensitive online help. As with all Catalyst components, the Internet Mail control is licensed royalty-free, without any runtime licensing fees.
