Take a look at http://www.a1vbcode.com/snippet-270.asp Note that the Logon and Logoff are not needed for most emali clients' Outlook is about the only time you need these functions. > Do you know how MAPI can be used with non-MS e-mail clients ? Yes, take a look at MAPISend on my website. It's a small application I wrote in PowerBASIC specifically to do this. It works fine with Pegasus Mail, Eudora etc. .... > This means that e-mail client software should support specific > MAPI-compliant protocols - are you saying that all modern e-mail clients > running on MS Windows are supporting this MAPI-compliant protocol? Every decent email client that I am aware of is MAPI compliant. If they are not, they won't be much use in Windows. Things such as Winzip's "Zip and Email", WInRAR's "Compress and email", Acrobat's "Convert to PDF and email" functions all use Simple MAPI for the latter action so any non-MAPI compliant emailer won't work with these sorts of utilities. -- Stuart
