How to receive POP mail using VB6 and save into Access MDB

Hi Experts

Need to be able to read and save POP email from POP server and save into Access MDB. It's the POP bit I need help with. If email has attachment, I don't want it but need to know how to deal with it.

From another solution (Q_20842674) SweatCoder sent someone some code which sounds like it could be what I need (if you are listening!!)

Hope you can help!

Use a 3rd party POP object, like Easy Mail Objects from http://www.quiksoft.com - works for me. It's really easy to get the messages you need, you have full access to the message, headers, attachments. Just save the strings in a MDB, no big deal. :)
Oops: it's payware, I hope that wasn't a criteria :))

Sorry, should have specified, I really would prefer not to use a third party thing and have my 'own' code running it. It's a learning thing ;-)

I have some VB experience and should be able to figure it out once I am set in the right direction, sample code etc.
