As developers we're often in a situation where we need to connect to an email client, whether it's Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora or Thunderbird. The task is often tricky, digging through frustrating APIs that have been added to over the years, or worse, having to re-write entire sections of code to support a new email client. That's where the Mailbox SDK comes in.

The Mailbox SDK simplifies the process of connection to an email client by using one well written and easy to use API. Support for all the tasks that you would want to do with any mail client is supported, and changing the client that you use is as simple as setting a single option. You can use the SDK from within any programming environment, and we've provided you with quickstart samples in C++, C# for .NET and Borland Delphi. Full API reference is given, and we know that you'll find the SDK a powerful timesaving solution as we've used it to build our own Email Extrator application.

The software is available on trial download and can be purchased for $399.00. You can also read full details on the Mailbox SDK.

Today marks the release of the totally re-written Email Extractor. The application, which backs up emails from Outlook, Outlook EXpress, Thunderbird and Eudora, has been totally re-written using our soon to be released Mailbox SDK.
