POP3SecureSocket.NetworkInterface

**NetworkInterface** As `NetworkInterface</api/networking/networkinterface>`

The behavior is OS-dependent; it appears to work on Windows but not on other supported operating systems. If you wish to send broadcast packets out, then you should not bind to a specific interface because the behavior is undefined.

POP3SecureSocket.Port

**Port** As `Integer</api/data_types/integer>`

> The port to bind on or connect to.
>
> On most operating systems, attempting to bind to a port less than 1024 causes a `Error<socketcore.error>` event to fire with an error number 107 unless the application is running with administrative permissions. This is due to security features built into the underlying OS.
>
> You need to set the port property explicitly before any call to Listen or Connect as the Port property will be modified to reflect what the actual bound port is during the various stages of operation.
>
> For instance, if you listen on port 8080 and a connection comes in, you can check the Port property to ensure that you're still listening on port 8080 (that the port hasn't been hijacked). Or, if you connect to a socket on port 8080, once the connection occurs, you can check to see what port the OS has bound you to. This will be a random-seeming port number.
>
> This trick can be very useful when you do things like Listen on port 0. In that case, the OS will pick a port for you and listen on it. Then you can check the Port property to see which port the OS picked. This functionality is used for various protocols, such as FTP.
>
> This example sets the Port to 8080.

POP3SecureSocket.Flush

**Flush**

> Immediately sends the contents of internal write buffers to disk or to the output stream.
>
> This function can be useful in point-to-point communication over sockets and similar connections: To optimize for transmission performance, some types of output streams try to collect small pieces of written data into one larger piece for sending instead of sending each piece out individually. By calling Flush, the data collection is stopped and the data is sent without further delay, reducing latency.
>
> When using this on a stream that ends up as a file on disk, it is useful, too: Any short parts of previously written data are written to disk right away, ensuring the data is actually on disk if the application terminates abruptly, e.g. due to a crash.
>
> Avoid calling this method too often. For example, do not call it between successive Write calls because you'll slow down performance without getting much benefit.
>
> A typical use case would look like this:
>
> ``` xojo
> mySocket.Write("you typed: ")
> mySocket.Write(key)
> mySocket.Write(".")
> mySocket.Flush
> ```

Otherwise, the data, if small, may end up temporarily in a write buffer before either a certain time has passed or more data is written. This buffering increases performance when writing lots of small pieces of data, but may be causing unwanted delays when another process, e.g. the other end of a socket connection, is waiting for the data. Consider calling the `Flush<writeable.flush>` method to reduce latencies that this buffering may cause in such cases.

## Interfaces

This class implements the `Readable</api/files/readable>` and `Writeable</api/files/writeable>` class interfaces.

## Notes

The <span class="title-ref">POP3SecureSocket</span> is nearly identical to the deprecated <span class="title-ref">POP3Socket</span> class, except that it is derived from the `SSLSocket</api/networking/sslsocket>` class instead of the `TCPSocket</api/networking/tcpsocket>` class. This enables you to send secure email by setting the Secure property of the `SSLSocket</api/networking/sslsocket>` class.

If you use a constructor of a subclass of <span class="title-ref">POP3SecureSocket</span>, you must call the Super class's constructor in your subclass's constructor. The subclass will not work unless this is done.

## Sample code

The following code in the MessageReceived event handler places the body of an email message in a `TextArea</api/user_interface/desktop/desktoptextarea>`.

``` xojo
Sub MessageReceived(ID As Integer, email As EmailMessage)
  Var s As String = email.BodyHTML

  If s.IsEmpty Then
    s = email.BodyPlainText
  End If

  TextArea1.Text = s
End Sub
```
