Hi all, let's get thing straight forward. I know that ASP and ASP.Net is capable of sending email to user with the help of CDONTS. But that was only SENDING / OUTGOING emails, what about INCOMING / RECEIVING emails? I'm not sure whether ASP or ASP.Net is capable of doing that but I'm pretty sure php is able to do so. So can I get some help from you guys? Please teach and guide me on this with some simple sample code. Thanks!

Although the Windows SMTP service is traditionally just used for sending email, it can actually receive email, but there is nothing built-in for accessing the inbox. You have to manually code that yourself using CDONTS objects.
Yes, *Nix systems make this so much easier. I'm brand new to PHP, but this page in the PHP Manual at www.php.net may get you started.
http://us4.php.net/imap
(Don't be fooled by the name "imap". The library also handles SMTP, POP3, and NNTP.)
A free PHP app for checking and sending email is NOCC.
http://nocc.sourceforge.net/
I use this to provide webmail to my clients. Simple and effective. You could look at the open source to help you learn the techniques I suppose.
