This COBOL email component library provides a user-friendly API to send and receive emails, with support for HTML, MIME Base64 and quoted-printable encoded attachments. It also supports SMTP and POP3 authentication, SSL/TLS, ISO-8859 and UTF-8 messages.
This software also boasts an impressive range of features that make it a must-have for anyone looking to send and receive mail via COBOL. For instance, SEE4CB supports email servers that require SSL/TLS, so you can be sure that your messages are secure. It also enables you to get the number of messages on your email server, get header lines from any email on your server without reading the entire email, delete any email on the server without downloading the entire email, and copy any email on the server without deleting it.
Other key features of SEE4CB include the ability to receive any email on your server, download email from your server while automatically decoding MIME attachments, remove contents of incoming attachments, copy email, and navigate between IMAP mailboxes. With dozens of switches to control how email is sent and received, SEE4CB also supports SMTP (ESMTP) and POP3 authentication, multiple (simultaneous) connections, and bulk mail on a distribution list.
In terms of ease of use, SEE4CB is a winner. It allows you to set return receipt, add TO, CC, BCC recipients, and includes multiple COBOL example programs. Even better, the software does not depend on support libraries, and calls to core Windows API functions only.
Moreover, you can use SEE4CB with both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows through Windows 11, and it works with Fujitsu COBOL. With a fully functional evaluation version available, free technical support and updates for one year, and royalty-free distribution with your compiled application, this software is definitely worth checking out. Plus, with C source code available, it's easy to customize SEE4CB to meet your specific needs.
