MAPI 'From' Line. (for The MAPI Wizzkids)
Hi guys,

I want to change (when sending a mail through the MAPI) the 'From' dynamically in my VB procedure. But the MAPI does not seem to have a 'From:' property you can fill in.

On a related note:
Can I use HTML in my message text? Or more specifically. Can I use the 'From:' like this:

ThisIsMyFrom <ThisIs@MyFrom.com>

so the 'ThisIs@MyFrom.com' mail adress will function as a reply adress ...

MAPI : Is This Feature Available With MAPI Controls 6.0 In VB ?
Hi,

I am using Mapi Controls 6.0 in developing an EMAIL Application using Outlook Express as my MAPI Client. We understand that there are Methods called DownLoadMail and Fetch using which we can check the messages.

But how can we download the messages directly from the MAIL Server. How do we achieve this. Is it possible by using MAPI API or can be achieved by using Controls.

Regards

Why Mapi Why?
Ok my program does everything i need it to do. It creates the message gets it to the outbox but, the emails are not sent.

Here is the error "None of your e-mail accounts could send to this recipient."

I have also found out where the problem is. If i right click on the displayed name and select properties it shows the display name, the email address and the email type. the email type is where the problem lies. the email type is the email address i'm sending to but it should be smtp. This happens in both outlook and outlook express.

here is the code i'm using

Code:
Public Sub SendMail()
Dim fname() As String
Dim k As Integer
strCFileName = Dir$(strFolderPath & "*." & strFileType)
k = -1
fMainForm.MAPISession1.SignOn
fMainForm.MAPIMessages1.SessionID = fMainForm.MAPISession1.SessionID
If Err <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Logon Failure: " + Error$
End If
With fMainForm.MAPIMessages1
.SessionID = fMainForm.MAPISession1.SessionID
.MsgIndex = -1
.Compose
If strEmailAddress1 <> "" Then
.RecipDisplayName = strEmailAddress1
.RecipAddress = strEmailAddress1
End If
If strEmailAddress2 <> "" Then
.RecipIndex = 1
.RecipAddress = strEmailAddress2
.RecipDisplayName = strEmailAddress2
End If
If strEmailAddress3 <> "" Then
.RecipIndex = 2
.RecipAddress = strEmailAddress3
.RecipDisplayName = strEmailAddress3
.RecipType = 2
End If
If strEmailAddress4 <> "" Then
.RecipIndex = 3
.RecipAddress = strEmailAddress4
.RecipDisplayName = strEmailAddress4
.RecipType = 2
End If
.MsgSubject = strEmailSubject
.MsgNoteText = strEmailMessage
Do While strCFileName <> vbNullString
k = k + 1
ReDim Preserve fname(k)
fname(k) = strCFileName
.AttachmentIndex = k
.AttachmentPosition = k
.AttachmentPathName = strFolderPath & fname(k)
strCFileName = Dir$
Loop
.Send True
End With

fMainForm.MAPISession1.SignOff

'Kill strFolderPath & strEmailAttachment

End Sub

side note if I remove the ".RecipDisplayName" I get runtime error 32002.

I have tried setting the typewith MsgType but no luck.

Any thoughts??

Thank

Could someone explain to me how to send email to multiple (outlook)recipients when using MAPI.

here is what i am using to send to 1 user.

MAPIMessages1.RecipDisplayName = "recipient1@ghc.org"
MAPIMessages1.MsgSubject = "Fix Request;Priority " & Priority
MAPIMessages1.MsgNoteText = "Request #: " & FxNum & vbCrLf & "Request Date: " _
& DtRep & vbCrLf & "Facility: " & Loc & vbCrLf & "Department: " & Dept & vbCrLf _
& "Contact: " & Cont & vbCrLf & "Contact #: " & ContNum & vbCrLf & "Priority: " _
& Priority & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Request: " & FxDetail

I have tried to add more to the recipDisplayName, each separated by ";"...doesnt work. I've tried a couple other approaches but none seem to work.

Simple Questions

I have done & used MAPI for several projects, but I have some basic questions on that

What is the limit of the MAPI ? Will it work for any protocols such as SMTP,internaet based mails ???
IF I don't have Microsoft Outlook Or Outlook express and I have Lotus notes as my E mail Client, then will this MAPI work for me ?

Any Ideas ?

MAPI Help
I'm looking to add the ability to register the program I am working on into the program rather then having to do it on my companies website like it is now. I've read a bit about using MAPI but one of the things that hasn't been clear to me is how it send the actual message. Could it simply be done by supplying an address to send the message to and what I want sent or would the user need to input their smtp info at some point?

Mapi ????
hi,

Mapi
I am having trouble using the MAPI controls to generate an email.
I tried a sample project (online on a bunch of pages) that just sets up a simple GUI and uses the code shown below.
The problem is that when I run it it startsa netscape window that asks me for "Password for mail user default@mail"
How do I change the settings so that it uses something else for mail, not netscape? Or am I getting this all wrong?
thanks,

MAPI?
ok, i was trying to make VB send an e-mail to an address, and i was giving the code to do so. Along with the code I was told that I needed to have MAPI? I don't know what this is. The exact message was:

you need to have a mapi - enabled e-mail client (such as outlook express) and place the controls on a form (right click toolbar then microsoft mapi controls) with a command button.

Please help. Thanks!

Mapi Help
Can someone show me some mapi controls to mapi a decent emailer?

Mapi
I am using MAPI to send an email. However I want this to happen in the background.

The following sub almost achieves that,

Sub SendEmail()

'Start session
MAPISession1.SignOn

'set up email details
With MAPIMessages1
.MsgIndex = -1 'allows for modification of attach path
.AttachmentPathName = App.Path & ".mp3"
.RecipAddress = "woody_187@oceanfree.net"
.MsgSubject = "no subject"
End With

MAPIMessages1.SessionID = MAPISession1.SessionID

MAPIMessages1.Send False 'Creates email without displaying the outlook express window.

'End Session
MAPISession1.SignOff

End Sub

The only problem is that a send email? confirmation dialog box pops up.
You have to click send to confirm.

Anyone out there know if the dialog box can be hidden from
the user and the send button clicked dynamically to send the email?

Is there even an easier method to send an email in the "background"?

Hi,

i'm developing a simple program that would automatically send email using vb6 with mapi control, using the default config in my outlook express. I configure my OE in HTTP mail server in my hotmail account; my username and password in my hotmail account were defined in OE.

Is there a way to change this username and password in runtime mode? for instance: I will send 10 emails in my email account 1 and another 10 emails in my account 2, changing the configuration in my OE in runtime mode?????

Thanks

ASP, MAPI Or Something Else?
Hello everyone!

I develop a database in MS Access 2000 (Win98) and among other things there is one important feature in the db - it's supposed to send emails. In the archive of this phorum I've found many discussion on sending emails by VBA, but I still cannot feagure out what are the advantages and disadvantages of different methods of sending emails (ASP,MAPI,Outlook).
Please advise.
Right now I am testing aspemail.dll (from www.aspemail.com) to have the task done. But its full version is not free. Is there a standard DLL in MS Office with all usefull features as in aspemail.dll (such as CharSet,AppendBodyFromFile,etc).

Using Mapi With A Dll
if i want to send an email (with an attachment) using MAPI in a DLL, would i have to create a form, put the MAPI controls on that, and then reference them from a class module? or is there a better way to do this?

thanks

Me again. This time I'm trying a tutorial on mapi. For some reason it breaks out with an 'unspecified error' with these lines

WHY?

MAPI....Again..
Is is possible to logon (MAPI) and send an e-mail while not logged into windows (i.e. running as a scheduled task for that profile, but not actually logged into the machine.). We need to run a scheduled task every night on our server, and send out an e-mail under certain conditions. I cannot seem to figure this out using the APIs or the outlook object or the mapi controls. Anyone have any ideas?
