Retrieving Email Attachments
Hello All,
I have an app written with Team Developer that used to successfully retrieve the attachment from an email sent from a Verizon phone or MSN account but not from an email sent from a GoDaddy account.
Now, I can no longer retrieve the attachment sent from the Verizon account / phone, which is what the app was developed for.
Question: What is the difference between an attachment sent from an MSN account versus an attachment that is sent from a GoDaddy ( and now Verizon ) account?
Also, is there a setting or some other protocol that has to be enabled on the sending account so that on the receiving end I can detach the attachment and copy it to a temp file??
Many thanks for any insight into this,
~AJ

The only difference could be in the email headers. Does the program reference any specific email or attachment headers?
Unless the receiving email server is handling and/or storing emails from different providers depending on trust relationships.

Thanks for the insight.
I have put in a support request to the hosting service for the email server.
We'll see what they come back with.
I'm not sure what the program references as far as headers go. I just call a built in function that is supposed to retrieve the email and store a copy of the attachment in a temp file.
I'll try and inquire with the TeamDeveloper people and see what they come back with on that.
I'll let you know what happens.

Well this issue has been put on hold for now.
Just frustrating and weird that it acts sooo differently depending on what email server I am trying to retrieve the emails from.
I think my possible solutions are to:
1. host our own emails server and allow the appropriate permissions.
2. find a hosted email server that will work with the app.
Sorry it has taken so long to get back to this. I appreciate the help.
