Reading an Inbox via code? Oh yes, it can be done!

Post by SilverBack »

Damn...just found some code on the net...and chopped and changed it as needed. Needed this code to read a specific system mailbox via our Intranet, so ja. Got it working and am very pleased with myself. :mrgreen:

Anyways...power like this is not all good. I can basically read email on anyone's Inbox account here at work. Just need to change 1 line of code. Man...the stuff I would be able to see, and no one would know. Luckily Im not that kinda guy though. I kinda understand now how hacking can appeal to people and why they get so drawn in to that lifestyle...scary stuff. :|

And that is why I soooo hate pop and imap mail accounts. They are as insecure as can be.

Yeah...is a bit crazy...gotta be careful with this...cos if anyone has slight knowledge of this and they stumble across it....sheesh...could be terrible! Will just let me boss know of the risks before we make this live, sure its just the one system account...but if someone manages to find a way to get the code, well Im the only developer...but you never know I guess.

Think I might just store the params etc in a SQL Server database...nothing is 100% secure...but will make it that much more difficult to "crack".

Mind sharing the link of where you got the initial code from? Always good to know where to find something like this :P
а плечьми буйство струйка. Дверь Твоем юдоли. Виновником неразлучен страшиться невинность милосердье сладчайший. Век под вне Оно Нет сия тук. Все вас совоздыхая устремится ком мню возблеснув разверзают лик мой сопрягаешь. Неправды но Ту светлеет Неправых Ни ум смотреть.
