multithreading in vb
is it possible to do multithreading in vb?
if yes then i want to develop mail server which is able to respond to more than one client at a time?
is that possible?
for example, smtp is listening on 25 and pop3 on 110, if one client is sending a big mail which may take one minute then is smtp / pop3 able to respond to other e-mail clients in that particular one minute
please reply soon
thank you very much

I disagree with the recommendation so I will leave this open. It appears on the surface that the application provided by rpai's link provides multi-threading and it indicates it works in VB6. This leads me to believe it may be possible and perhaps even angelIIIs code may also work. Will somebody please give these a shot and let me know one way or the other. Thanks, it will be very much appreciated. I'll give this the standard 3 day waiting period. After which, upon not hearing from anyone, I intend to PAQ without a refund.

My $0.02:
From the thread posted by AngelIII:
>> VB6 is much less thread-safe than VB5. The Msgbox function, for example, is notoriously unsafe for threading.
From the thread posted by rpai:
>> Unfortunately there is a reason why this code isn't already posted here on PSC, this is because this code tends to make VB *very* unstable...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In my eyes, that make mdougan's recommendation the best and most complete answer (the others did not mention this apparently well-documented instability at all). But I'm not an expert, just a day laborer with aspirations.
