TROEmailServer
Overview
TROEmailServer implements a server that uses standard email infrastructure to send messages between client and server. The channel is based on the open source Indy components that ship with Delphi.
Due to the nature of how email delivery works, this channel is best-suited for asynchronous communications and scenarios where a response to a request is not expected in real time or even during the lifetime of the application.
Location
- Unit: uROIndyEmailServer.pas
- Ancestry: TComponent | TROComponent | TROBaseConnection | TROServer | TROCustomEmailServer | TROEmailServer
constructor Create override (declared in TROCustomEmailServer)
Standard component constructor
constructor Create(aOwner: TComponent)

Dispatchers (declared in TROServer)
Specifies how incoming requests will be processed and dispatched. Depending on the server type, one or multiple dispatchers can be configured to receive messages from the client. Each dispatcher consists of a Message and an optional Name. Also, each dispatcher can be individually enabled or disabled. Each server must have at least one dispatcher configured, in order to be able to process messages.
=Essential Sub-Properties=
- Message specifies the message format to be used for this dispatcher.
- Name specifies the name, or possibly the URL for the dispatcher.
In HTTP based servers (such as the TROIndyHTTPServer, the Name will be appended as folder to the server URL allowing the server to make multiple dispatchers available at different URLs.

OnException
Fires if an exception occurred during the polling of the POP3 account. Because polling the account happens in a worker thread, any problems encountered during polling (such as failed authentication with the POP3 server) will not bubble up to the main application.
