>Can you give me some resources to help out with the SMTP issues?

SMTP is just the low level protocol used for sending e-mail. All internet e-mail programs use it. Windows comes with the functions to log on to an SMTP server and send mail (wininet.dll). Most e-mail programs are just convenient wrappers around these functions. Rick's wwIPstuff class makes access to these functions from VFp easy. The trouble is, since using these functions directly bypasses any other email program, you are responsible for batching (if necessary) and recording your sends, since you won't have an 'outbox'. I recommend oyu at least download wwIPStuff and play with it to get yourself familiar with how the process works.

>Also, what is the most complete resource you know of for MAPI?

There is a MAPI98 help file that omes with VS 6.0 (it came with enterprise, I assume it comes with professional). for VFP specific samples, you can look here in the files section, I am pretty sure someone has posted some sample files or at least an article or two.

HTH.
