Yes.
I'm not familiar with the tNMPop3 type. However, if it is a component then
you need to create an instance before actually using it. Simply declaring
storage to reference the instance is not enough. You probably need
something like
mailRetriever := tNMPop3.Create ( {perhaps some parameters} );

Ah. Owner is generally the form on which you've dropped the control at
design time. You might try Nil for Owner. (You'll have to remember to use
Free to release the control.)
