SSL programming.
« on: September 11, 2009, 03:25:00 AM »
Hey everyone  ;D

Okay, I'm trying, for reasons of my own, (those reasons being for my own curiousity to see if i can do it) to connect my ancient HP200LX palmtop to the internet through a serial port on another computer.
I got the connection fine, the palmtop and laptop (through vb.net 2008) were talking perfectly.
The next step was to extend my vb.net program to send the internet into the palmtop upon request.
Or to be more specific, my gmail email account through POP3.
I have been googling for the past three days and have put together from about four different tutorials a reasonably stable pop3 email retriever - except it doesn't work on gmail. Gmail uses SSL, which none of the free tutorials on the internet show you how to program.

Does anyone here have any ideas?
Cheers,
Bones
