Hi , I am new here. I would like to know if LCL is only for GUI
functions, or if it also supports other functions, such as email. I'm
interested in SMTP and POP3 support, and I don't know where to find
it.

Thanks

Networking support is not included in the LCL itself but there are
multiple packages that can supply networking functionality, some built
into FPC, some external such as Synapse.

QuoteI would like to know if LCL is only for GUI functions, or if it

includes data structures and many non-visual functionalities. Nowadays
they have been parted to several packages, so yes, LCL is a GUI only
package.
