This piece of code sends mail using the MAPI controls.

1) AXMapimessages

2) AXMapisession

This piece of code is in the initial stage. This is a way towards automating the E-Mail client like Outlook Express. The next version will send and receive messages. Hang on friends for my code for sending messages by Winsock.

Procedure:

To run this code you need following things:

An Email client (Like outlook express) set up on a machine. The email client should be configured for sending and receiving email. Also correct incoming and outgoing IP addresses on the system.

Source Code:

axMAPIMessages1.Action = MESSAGE_SEND
See the code for more details.

General Description:

The messaging application program interface (MAPI) controls allow you to create mail-enabled Visual Basic applications. MAPI is a set of core system components that seamlessly connect any mail-enabled or workgroup application to MAPI-compliant information services. For example, the Microsoft Exchange messaging system can be connected to most private or public e-mail systems through the use of MAPI drivers.v
