How to use Delphi to retrieve email text from Thunderbird

What am I doing now with Outlook:

I receive email orders for products. I select one or more emails in Outlook (one order may have several emails associated with it), and then switch to my OrderManager program encoded in Delphi and click "Import". It uses the Outlook COM automation interface to read the text of each message, analyze and process each of them.

The question is, can I do this with Thunderbird? Does Thunderbird have a COM interface? I have to look for the wrong keywords because I haven't found anything yet.

Btw, I have a version of my OrderManager that simply reads emails directly from my mail server using Indy, but for several reasons I would like to try reading them from Firefox.

Any suggestions, links to documents or code samples are welcome!

Mark the link out.

You can write a wrapper C or C ++ in XPCOM, and then use this shell in Delphi.

There is also an open XPCOM shell written in Delphi . You can also check this out. Thanks to Stijn for pointing this out.

Hope this helps.
