Is it possible to send and recieve emails via Livecode?

Well the question is: Can I send and recieve emails within livecode and without any external mail application?

Why don't you use google ? "livecode send email" for instance ? Or the forum search tool ?

It's everywhere. 2 libraries are available. Sarah's is a good one.

I didn't mean to be harsh on you. It's just that I believe the forum is a tool when people face a problem, something that they can't solve, or an answer they can't find, after... a proper search online. :)

You can either use someone else's existing library, or you can write your own.. SMTP and POP3 are some of the easier protocols to code for and would make for a good learning exercise for using sockets..
