>Have a look in the files section here (Classes). I have a MAPI class in there for sending eMail directly from VFP. I'll be uploading the next version in a couple of days - this will read eMail also!

Is your Mapi Class a container or subclasses of the MS Mapi ActiveX? If so what Simple Mapi Cleint is it desinged for? Otherwise what is it?

I have a very decent arsMail class (it reads, sends, all attahcment functions, over internet and ms postoffice, extremely automated, full advantage of profiles, ect.; the whole works) that is a container with MapiSession, MapiMessage, and Benidect Software RAS (dial up networking) control. I desgined it for use with OutlookExpress but its crap, so then I used MS Exchange and it works better but still has known MS bugs (like over internet mail cannot pull original attchment file names). I'm hoping to write my own Mapi control soon if I find time.

Its simple to work: for every message you wnat to send, add a record to send.dbf. Then instantiate the object. It sends all mail and then all incoming mail is put in to messages.dbf and attachments are put in to a specified dir.

There is alot more you can do too.
