mail prgram using VB
-
hi, i am designing a mail program using MAPI control...MAPI control using OUTLOOK to send mails. is it possible to send mail directly to internet without using OUTLOOK. plz send me the code for that if possible regards paritosh:) Paritosh
You could call the MAPI API functions directly if you wanted. Outlook and Outlook Express already do this using .DLL and .OCX wrappers. Or you could write your own implementation of SMTP/POP3 clients and talk directly to the servers to send and receive mail. Personally, I hate reinventing the wheel and would use existing controls and libraries to do this. But if you really want to attempt this stuff, you can find the MAPI docs here[^] on MSDN, or you can Google for "SMTP Client VB source" to find some examples.
