Dll to send mails with Outlook Express (not M Outlook)

Franklin

What Dll do you use to send mails with Outlook Express? Microsoft Outlook is not installed in the server.

You do not need great options, just send an email.

Thk!!

Yes, but this topic is very convoluted and i only want to know what dll do you use...

If you want close this topic :-k

Finally i get to send tne mail with microsoft outlook but the customer, now, wants without microsoft outlook :x i´m very angry!!!

ok, then we use a very simple trick ;-)

1. we know from our old dos times, that in the command.com some programs can be started with the start command. ;-)
'cmd /c start mailto:My@EMAIL.de' <- starts the cmd with the command "start mailto:"

so, the solution is easy

Name	DataType	Subtype	Length
WSHShell	Automation	'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell	
Varia1	Variant		
Varia2	Variant		

Varia1 := 0;     //Variant Variable
Varia2 := TRUE;

WSHShell.run('cmd /c start mailto:My@EMAIL.de',Varia1,Varia2);
clear(WSHShell);

2. we know also, that the rundll32.exe is very powerfull
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=12861

so, we need only a list with all parameters of this dll. --> http://www.winfaq.de/faq_html/Content/t ... ip0564.htm

and with these infos, we can create a little NAV codesnippes

Name	DataType	Subtype	Length
WSHShell	Automation	'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell	

IF ISCLEAR(WSHShell) THEN
  CREATE(WSHShell);

WSHShell.Run('rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler mailto:My@EMAIL.de');
clear(WSHShell);

Now we have two options to start a mail from NAV.
