Hi All,
Just wondering if the MAPIHandler works in WebApp? I need to send
emails out, but thought I would prefer to do it from the WebApp, rather
than asp pages.
We do use AspEmail which works beautifully on some other systems, but I
cannot get Mapi to work on a server, it does work when running in test
from the studio though.
TIA
Ian

Ian,
It should work but usually it is too complex. It takes quite some time to
get it configured correctly (correct permissions) and then you need to have
a mail client (like Outlook) that sends the mail. Such mailclients are
usually not installed on webservers. A better alternative is a SMTP COM
object. We use ANSMTP in several webapplications.

Try Quiksoft's Easymail - it's briliant, and not
TOO dear (worth every penny, tho.)
Does SMTP, POP3 and Imap, AND it works
briliantly on a Windoze 2003 Server. 2 of us
over here on the East Coast have been using
it without fault for over 12 months now.

I agree, we use Easymail as well after getting it recommended to us at
DDUG a few years back. Very reliable and easy to use.

Ian,
I started using EasyMail too...
Works like a charm, picking up emails from a documentinbox, interpret
who it is for print the attachments on their printer.
If you want I can send you the code.
Cheers,
Marco

Vincent,
do you have a sample of the vdf code you could share? i ask because the ANSMTP is $100 cheaper and well, ahh, i'm cheap - but cautious! i need only
the ability to send an email with an attachment.
i've got the mapihandler working just fine but you should see the looks i get from the sys admins when i tell them they have to leave a server logged
in and outlook running!!!
Thanks
