Writing code to "automate" sending mail in Outlook express

C

Carel Lotz

Hi Al

I'm looking to write an Add-in to automate sending mail using Outlook and Outlook Express. For Outlook I can see how to accomplish this by doing automation, but the problem is using Outlook Express. Since there is no Automation model available to use, how would I accomplish this? I've seen add-ins for OE being advertised, so it must be possible. Is there some example code on how to accomplish this

Thank
Carel

Hi Carel,

The development to OE is not supported. As one workaround, it is suggested you can use simple MAPI, CDO etc to send the mail. This kb article
239576 will introduce more information for you on this.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.
