can i download emails from my iplanet account into my local program? (for eg like outlook)

I am practising to use different API like (easymail API's) to download my emails from the Mailserver, Send emails, send emails with attachments, etc. I use Delphi under windwos 2000. ARE there any API's like easymail which can do the same task?

Why use an API when you could just use one of the Intnert standard protocols that iMS supports?My protocol of choice for such a thing would be IMAP.
