I have used delphi for a long time.
Now I hope to move some of my projects to lazarus.
Are there suitable component for lazarus has the similar function with
indy/ics?
I hope that component works well on all plateform(win, mac, linux,
freebsd)

Welcome any comment

- Indy9 works, but afaik Windows (maybe Linux?) only.
- indy10 works and should be crossplatform
- ICS used to work, but the Windows version only. (not the kylix one,
which was a separate codebase)
- Synapse works and should be crossplatform
- FPC has a minimal own library called LNET that focusses on
asynchronous communication

I only tried a few clients, but those worked (and that is years ago).
It is sometimes a bit of fumbling to get it installed though.

QuoteI only tried a few clients, but those worked (and that is years

back to the 10.2 lazarus/fpc port (from 2007) to get it to work.
Recent versions (snapshots) fail miserably in iconv related code with
compiler and run-time errors. I only tried the mime and multipart
related units. Perhaps there are other people that have better
experience with a more recent indy 10.
