ThreadTypes constants are used with
Threads
property, and define behavior of wodPop3Server when it comes to
creating worker thread for each connected user. By default, no
threads are created - all users work in same thread as wodPop3Server
is. When you expect to receive many concurrent connections at once,
you should try to use one of threading options instead.
When SafeThreads is selected, worker threads are created, but
when it comes to firing events, main thread is notified about the
event, and main thread fires the event. This is a requirement in
some languages. For example, in Visual Basic it is a
recommended option. Speed increase should occur with this setting,
but still you should NOT put lengthy processing in events code,
since all users must wait to fire events until your processing is
completed.
Selecting FullThreads allows wodPop3Server to completely fire
events from worker threads. While this may not be safe in some
environments, it is suggested selection in NET environment, such as
VB.NET and C# languages. You can put any lengthy processing inside
events code, since you will block only one thread - while other
users are allowed to continue posting their messages interrupted.
