NAS and Outlook

Is it possible to use App server to send mail with Outlook? Mapihandler does not work because of Outlook security prompts. Olhandler bypasses Outlook security, but does not work with NAS (ver 4 sp1).
Any ideas?

    We;ve also had problems with Olhandler in NAS.

    It seems to check if it is used with the navision client.

    A tip is to use Outlook Express instead, even thou I havn't used Nav4Sp1 yet.
    Several security warnings can easyliy be set in the security tab, like 'Warn me if another program is trying to send eamil' Yes/No.
    I haven't been able find corresponing setttings in 'normal' Outlook :(

    We have an NAS that sends email with no problems under Navision 3.60 and Outlook Express

    I tried outlook express with 3.7, but I could not get it to work - there was no error message, and I turned off security but no luck (possibly because it brings up a progress dialog?)
    How did you get outlook express to work?[/quote]

    Default mailhandler is set to OE

    under the menu Tools - Options
    tab General, Read, Compose & Maintenace: uncheck all
    tab Send: uncheck all but send immediately
    tab Security: choose Internet zone, uncheck 'warn me...'

    Good luck!

    Works from client, but not from NAS (3.7). It brings up a dialog progress box - perhaps that's why it fails. Is there a way to turn this off? What version of Outlook Express are you using?

    I'm using OE 6.00.3790.1830 (srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447)

    Yes, the dialog opens if you are running NAS as application. But as far as I know it doesn't if NAS is running as service.

    code from Navision

    MailMgt = codeunit 6229 (version NAVW13.10)


    MyOwnStuff()
    ... some work
    CLEAR(MailMgt);
    MailMgt.CreateNewMail(to,cc,subject);
    MailMgt.AddBodyLine('some text');
    MailMgt.AddBodyLine('ready at '+FORMAT(TODAY)+' '+FORMAT(TIME));
    MailMgt.AddBodyLine('workdate '+FORMAT(WORKDATE));
    MailMgt.AddValue(1,'dummy');
    //there is an error in 3.60 that don't fill in subject and body texts in the email if addvalue is missing
    MailMgt.QueueEMail;
    CLEAR(MailMgt);
    ... some other work

    later in the code:

    CountDown::CountDown(VAR intNextInterval : Integer)
    intNextInterval := NASMgt.GetMailInterval * 1000;
    MailMgt.SendMailFromQueue;

    MyOwnStuff;

    Thanks danlindstrom, that works. I was using codeunit 397 (mail) directly when I should have been using Mail Management.

    Does anybody know how to use NAS with Outlook to automatically send mail WITHOUT using commerce portal functionality - just by using the standard Mail codeunit?
