MailBee.NET Objects

MailBee.NET Objects  bring e-mail support to your .NET applications in a few lines of code.

MailBee.NET Objects is a set of robust and feature-rich .NET components for creating, sending, receiving, and processing e-mails. Packed with "must-have" and unique features, these components help developers add even sophisticated e-mail functionality into their applications quickly and easily.

Written in 100% managed code, MailBee.NET Objects only require the .NET framework be installed on the computer.

MailBee.NET Objects can be used in any .NET language including C# and VB.NET. Both .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 are supported.

MailBee.NET Objects fully support POP3, IMAP, SMTP, ESMTP, TLS/SSL, MIME, XML, HTML, and MHTML. No knowledge of these standards is required of developers, however.
