@Archana

This is not the problem with Mail.dll – it’s a problem with your network or yahoo (I can connect, so it’s rather the former).
Are you sure you have specified Yahoo’s IMAP server address correctly?

Please consult your network administrator on why you can’t connect to this address.

Hi,
I keep getting the below exception no matter what i do, this exception occurs only when dealing with yahoo.

Unable to read data from the transport connection: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

In reply to Archana. @Archana In such case, you can only poll (connect, search, disconnect) for messages at specified interval.

@Buzzknow
I don’t know PHP, but I’m sure that there are components for IMAP in PHP. Remember that you need to issue custom ID command, so the component needs to support that.

By the way Mail.dll has this already incorporated in the Connect method, so users don’t need to even know about the Yahoo’s non-standard IMAP implementation.
