stay tuned.

You should add a SelectionList to change the POP server. Visual basic is fun :3 I like it and right now im trying to finish my experience with it so i can move on to another language. Try some xml parsing. It's useful and helped me learn alot about XmlReader, and some other stuff that i used it for.

Thanks! I will try the selectionlist actually :( then i'll goto the xml parsing. Thanks for the tips WildSurvival (your the one that made me want to use Visual basic :) )

:P Thanks. Its a cool language, but theres alot of things that are impossible to do in VB.Net. After i get done in VB.Net im going to C programming. I got a cool PDF file called "Let Us C" Its very similiar to C++ and the PDF is very informational. Its like 700 pages long lol.

One of my first VB Programs was an anonymous email sender, :P. I've also made a text-to-voice, a auto-clicker, and an auto-typer as one of my first few programs.

You could actually make a simple Mail() function within PHP. There are a couple of things to remember though, if you intend to send any mail generated from your own PC/Website, many won't receive the email without including the DKIM signing, mainly Yahoo. Even with this digital signing method to confirm the address is actually the origin of the email, you may have some odd blacklisting as many residential IP addresses have. To overcome this, shell out a few more bucks for a business listing and work with your ISP to get yourself an IP approved for sending/receiving emails.

There are alternative methods, such as using gmail to send your messages via their SMTP servers, or another provider with such support. Either way, there is no need for a program that generates email, unless you are intending on creating spam.

I made stuff for php membership and thats what i used for account activation. It sent an email from my SMTP, all you have to do is use the default Mail() function. It will automaticly use the SMTP. It probrobly will work with a server host since if they dont have that disabled and they have a SMTP.

My first VB application was a chat application using winsock :P

Edit: You could try making a web browser. It's easy to do with VB.

Using the webbrowser class? Its basicly the same as using IE.
