The main problem with 4D Internet Commands is: It blocks the whole application while waiting for and downloading messages from the server. This is because the plugin interface of 4D is designed to be in cooperative mode. Even switching to v16 and using preemptive threads will not help, the plugin interface isn't thread-safe.
So if you want to receive e-mails the best thing is to use a third party tool and develop a non-blocking interface to this tool. Developing a plugin will not help. We are challenged with the same problem, so we decided to get the e-mails using a job in the night, so blocking of the server doesn't disturb anyone. For the requirements of our customers this is ok.
