Is it possible to use new version of Indy 10

MJ's pre-compiled binaries are old - looks like about 4 years old, based on the timestamps of the compiled files in the downloadable zip files.

Your best option at this point is to just download Indy's source code from GitHub and compile it yourself. That will ensure you have the absolute latest version of Indy.

That is not very helpful info. What EXACTLY goes wrong? Please be more specific.

What are the EXACT error messages? I find it very hard to believe that you are getting an exception from simply setting the Password property, given that property doesn't even have a setter method assigned to it. So either you are setting the property value on an invalid TIdSMTP object, or the layout of your Indy .hpp header files does not match the binaries you are using. Or, are you actually experiencing a server-side error where the SMTP server is rejecting your password during the authentication stage? That would be a completely different issue.

That is normal behavior, if you are using only pre-compiled binaries and don't have their source code. The debugger is looking for Indy's source code to step into it, but you did not install the sources.

And did you? The problems you describe could be a result of having a mix of multiple Indy versions on the same machine.

It should be. The IPVersion property is promoted to __published in TIdFTP, and was being done so in the version of Indy that MJ last compiled with. Which makes me all the more suspicious that you are compiling your code with older .hpp files located elsewhere on your machine.

Did you read Indy's install instructions at all? Or did you just jump straight to MJ's instructions only?
