I need to retrieve the subject and date stamp ONLY of any mail on my
POP3 server. The last version of the Atomic mailer I had is very old,
and only lets you retrieve the entire mail, not just the subject/date.

Here it is... does anyone know how to modify it to achieve my goal?
It's probaby really simple, but I just can't work it out right now.

Code:
InitNetwork()

OpenConsole()

#MODE_Authorization = 1
#MODE_Transaction   = 2

Login$        = "login"
Password$     = "password"
POP_Provider$ = "pop.mailserver.com.au"

EOL$ = Chr(13)+Chr(10)

Pop3Mode = #MODE_AUTHORIZATION

NetWorkID=OpenNetworkConnection(POP_Provider$, 110)
If NetWorkID0
  PrintN("Connected..")
 
  AllocateMemory(0, 2000, 0)
 
  Repeat
   
    NEvent = NetworkClientEvent(NetWorkID)
   
    If NEvent
      ReadLength = ReceiveNetworkData(NetWorkID, UseMemory(0), 2000)
     
      If (ReadLength) > 2
        PokeB(UseMemory(0)+ReadLength-2, 0) ; Remove the CRLF directly
        Line$ = PeekS(UseMemory(0))
        PrintN(Line$)
       
        Gosub ParseLine
      Else
        PrintN("Bad received packet")
      EndIf
    Else
      Delay(20)
    EndIf
   
  ForEver
 
Else
  PrintN("Impossible to connect to the pop3 the server")
EndIf

MessageRequester("Info", "Program finished correctly.", 0)

End

ParseLine:

If Len(Line$) >= 3
 
  If Left(Line$, 3) = "+OK"
   
    Select Pop3Mode
       
      Case #MODE_Authorization
        Gosub Authorization
       
      Case #MODE_Transaction
        Gosub Transaction
       
      Default
        ; PrintN("Error: no such case 1")
       
    EndSelect
   
  Else
    ;  PrintN("Error... Deconnect now ! (-ERR)");
  EndIf
Else
  ; PrintN("Error... Too short packet");
EndIf

Return


; Authorization
the init phase where the user must login..
;
;

Authorization:

Select AuthStep
   
  Case 0
    a$ = "USER "+Login$+EOL$
    SendNetworkData(NetWorkID, a$, Len(a$))
   
  Case 1
    a$ = "PASS "+Password$+EOL$
    SendNetworkData(NetWorkID, a$, Len(a$))
    Pop3Mode = #MODE_Transaction
   
    ;Case 2
    ;  a$ = "QUIT"+EOL$
    ;  SendNetworkData(0, a$, Len(a$))
    ;  Pop3Mode = #MODE_Transaction
   
EndSelect

Return


Transaction:

Select TransStep
   
  Case 0
    a$ = "STAT"+EOL$
    SendNetworkData(NetWorkID, a$, Len(a$))
   
  Case 1
    a$ = "LIST "+EOL$
    SendNetworkData(NetWorkID, a$, Len(a$))
   
  Case 2
    PrintN("Type msg# to retreive:")
    Nb$ = Input()
    PrintN(Str(1100))
    PrintN("Retrieving...")
    ; Nb$ = "1"
    a$ = "RETR "+Nb$+EOL$
    SendNetworkData(NetWorkID, a$, Len(a$))
    TransStep-1
   
    If CreateFile(0, "MAIL.txt")
      FirstTime = 1
      Size = 1
      Repeat
        NEvent = NetworkClientEvent(NetWorkID)
       
        If NEvent
          ReadLength = ReceiveNetworkData(NetWorkID, UseMemory(0), 1999)
         
          PokeB(UseMemory(0)+ReadLength, 0)
         
          a$ = PeekS(UseMemory(0))
          PrintN(a$)
          If FirstTime
            Position = FindString(a$, " ", 5)
            Size$ = Mid(a$, 5, Position-5)
            PrintN(Size$)
            Size = Val(Size$)
            FirstTime = 0
            WriteString(a$)
            Size-ReadLength
          Else
            WriteString(a$)
            Size-ReadLength
          EndIf
         
        Else
          Delay(20)
        EndIf
       
      Until Size <= 0 ; And FirstTime = 0
      CloseFile(0)
     
      PrintN("Mail transfer finished")
    Else
      PrintN("Can't open the file...")
    EndIf
EndSelect

TransStep+1
Return

Check out RFC 1725 ( The POP3 specification)

I was doing some similar stuff with POP3 and PB just last night..spooky huh? ( Not working on a spam filter by any chance? )

From looking briefly at the code,
replace the
a$ = "RETR "+Nb$+EOL$
with
a$ = "TOP "+Nb$+" 0"+EOL$

This will download only the header of the message.
From there, you`ll have to do a simple(ish) search on the lines.
Something to be aware of.. headers are multi line, each line separated with the CR-LF pair, and sometimes split lines are indented with the Tab chr.

Hope this helps.

No -- just something else where I need to see subject/date.
BTW, your tip didn't help (sorry). I'll have to read up on
the POP specs more properly.

Wierd, did you get an error message from the POP3 server??
The TOP command is optional in the POP3 spec..if that doesn`t work, you`re only choice is to download the entire mail and extract date and subject from that.

Oops, my mistake (sorry!). Yes, it worked fine. Thanks! :)
