Just FYI, it's SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). If you have an MSDN subscription you should have MS Exchange server, just install that, it's fairly simple. Other than that you can do a search for some shareware SMTP/POP3 servers, I doubt you will find any free ones for windows. They should all come with simple setup and easy documentation. -- Rocky Dean Pulley

progress bar to see the progress of the saving file, i never did a progress bar before, but there is a first for most things. i dunno if thats clearer?

well it won't be really invisible just Minimized in the start tool bar, but in the tool bar the program will still fun until u open in from the tool bar and click stop. Ex. say A instant messager, it still runs eeven though u x-ed it out. (runs in the start toolbar, until u click "signoff". you see what i am saying?

okay looks like that will help a bunch. thanks

i get wat you are saying...multilined textbox?....is that a normal text box? or is it like a textbox that can view paragraphs from a .txt file?

Quite easy. There's a class in the framework for this: System.Web.Mail.MailMessage. You might want to look it up in the framework documentation. Regards, mav
