>Actually, accessing the Imail sockets via a 3rd party com object, and and
API access to the Imail core are two COMPLETELY different things. I can't
speak for everyone here, but I want API access so I can directly manipulate
any and every part of Imail. I believe that using a 3rd party COM can be
very useful, but it wouldn't compare to the speed and flexibility of a
direct API. Not by any stretch of the imagination. I believe that those
who compare a socket component to an API have a great misconception of what
an API is.
I agree with you, but for a different reason: I don't think that an API
might have more "speed or flexibility". I, for instance, developed a system
to administrate IMail by means of accessing the registry directly, with a
C++ program, and I doubt it can get any faster or flexible than this. The
real problema is, if it's a 3rd party, there is no guarantee that it's
accurate, secure, robust or reliable enough!
