Using Chilkat IMAP with Yahoo IMAP (imap.mail.yahoo.com)

From Wikipedia: It is possible to get direct IMAP  access without signing up for paid access nor using software like YPOPs! or FreePOPs.

Commands that assume an interactive user at a shell prompt should not be passed to SendRequestExec.  For example, the “more” command assumes there is a shell and that the user will press RETURN when another screenful of text is wanted.  It would be more appropriate to use the Unix/Linux “cat” command w/ SendRequestExec. To run interactive commands, one should instead […]

SSH SendReqExec — Commands with No Output

When a command is passed to SendReqExec that produces no output, such as “echo 1 > test.txt”, then do not try to read the channel (such as by calling ChannelReadAndPoll) because no data will be forthcoming and the channel read will timeout (as expected). The correct sequence of method calls would be to: Call SendReqExec to execute the command on […]
