Is there any way, how to communicate with POP3/IMAP server.
For example for build a pure-JavaScript e-mail notifier?
I’ve found this:
ftp://ftp.activexperts-labs.com/samples/aemail/HTML/POP3/index.htm
Unfortunately it uses the ActiveX objects, which really doesn’t work in many modern browsers.
It would be nice to have ability to send a packet through any protocol (= not only HTTP/S) in HTML5.
It is not possible with purely browser-based Javascript: there are is no direct socket connection support in browser Javascript. You can use special extensions in things like Firefox’s Extension environment to do pure socket connections, but not in a standard browser JS file.
