Send a POP3 NOOP Command
See more POP3 Examples
Demonstrates the Chilkat MailMan.Pop3Noop method, which sends a POP3 NOOP command to the server. NOOP does nothing except elicit a positive response, which is useful for keeping a session alive or verifying the connection is still responsive. This example begins a POP3 session and sends a NOOP.
Background:
NOOP ("no operation") is a standard keep-alive across many internet protocols. Servers often drop idle connections after a timeout; sending a periodic NOOP resets that timer so a long-running session stays open. It also serves as a cheap "are you still there?" probe — a successful reply confirms the socket and the authenticated session are still healthy.Chilkat Android™ Downloads
