Title says all

Hopefully pop3 eventually as well.

SSE? I assume you mean SSL/TLS in this case?

From the 4.20 Alpha Forum...

Also, is mail going to stay one-way or will receive (pop3) be implemented?

This are really bad news.

I need SSL/TLS functionality, too (using Google-Mail for example...). Gnozal is not willing to provide this functionality in his PureSMTP library, too. So, currently all Google-Mail users are not able to use my software.

If this functions are built-in, they can also get used for HTTPS-Functions. This would be a complete thing.

It's not that I don't want, simply I don't know how. And pointing to C++ links won't help.
I am no professional programmer.

Gnozal,

This was not meant as critique on your work or library's. PureSMTP saved me lot's of hours. Thank you for all your great librarys.

But currently, a lot of my customers complain about the missing compatibility to Google-Mail (only allowing SSL/TLS connections). I searched a lot, but can not find even a good and small external library that provides such SMTP functionality. Especially, as I need to keep a future Linux implementation in mind. And I'm not deep enough into the SMTP protocol to be able to do this by myself

I know that Fred said that, thats why I said "Hopefully pop3 eventually as well." - knowing that most people did not have access to the Alpha section of the forum.

Yes, i know

All missing things in the new http/ftp/smtp libs would be added gradually in new versions, not in 4.20 final to quote Fred

Ohh! those are typical words from Fred.
If he was a woman at least the typical words would be:

ARGGG! Not having smtp authentication makes the new mail functions pointless to me.

I think that it will come in time - don't forget it's still beta and it's a brand new "built-in" library.

There are such problems with many of the new libs, the FTP lib for example will be rather useless as long as it doesn't support setting CHMOD access rights.
Anyhow, time (and new features) will come, and the new libs are definitely a great step into the right direction.
