managing .eml files
I've written a program that runs every 15 minutes to look for any new emails that have arrived. So... (1) Can all emails be received automatically as separate .eml files? (2) After my program reads the .eml file, is it ok for my program to delete the file? (or is that going to screw up an index somewhere?) (3) I will be using Thunderbird for one email address with POP3 and SMTP. I will be using MS Outlook for other email addresses, also with POP3 and SMTP. Will Thunderbird and Outlook live happily together?
Thank you, Art Lieberman
