Peter,
I am also trying to come upwith something similar to a mail client. Thankx
for pointing to the link - it was pretty useful article.
Do you have an insight into how to handle the "receive emails" part of the
email client??

Best Wishes,
-Aayush
 
In that case you are going to be looking at connecting to a POP3 or IMAP
server to download new mails. I'm not aware of any ready-made solutions for
this for Compact Framework but using the POP3 or IMAP specifications you
will be able to implement something using Sockets. I was able to find this
example for the desktop .NET framework and C# here:-

If you merely want to provide a new client application around the existing
mail functionality on the device, you could also look at wrapping MAPI
(Messaging API), but this is a COM API so you will need to use native code
to wrap this and expose it in a way that can be called from .NETCF.
