Need Synchronous SslSmtpClient

[mgarey 0]

Would it be possible to get a synchronous version of the SslSmtpClient?  I have a process that loops through orders and sends emails so I need it to complete before going to the next order.  As it is, I can only do one at a time and the user has to click Send Email multiple times to send all of them.  Thanks.

You'd better replace your loop by an event chain. This is easy to do once you understood event driven programming.

This being said, you can make a synchronous version by using a wait loop. This will waste CPU...

Look at the new TIcsMailQueue component added to ICS earlier this year, it does exactly what you need.  You can queue hundreds of emails at the same time, and they will be sent and retried over several minutes or days.  The component is described half way down the page at http://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_V8.60
