These (there is a POP and SMTP demo) were written in FB2 by Jamin (I 
believe).  Also, the FB2 code is a front-end for the majority of the 
code (that I believe - but haven't checked- is machine code) that is 
loaded from resources. I don't know if any of the machine code  (assume 
it is low-level SMTP/POP3 stuff) needs to be accessible for possible 
changes due to the many OS changes since the time it was written by 
Jamin. Since I'm not  SMTP/POP3 knowledgeable,  I can't answer that 
question. My preference would be a demo written in FB^3 without machine 
code resources (inline assembly where necessary is maintainable)  if 
anyone has the time/knowledge to create it. Maybe Jamin will chime in 
with some thoughts.
