>How many messages are in your inbox? I don't know what is causing this error, only two things I can think of: 1) Too many messages in your inbox (although I've got hundreds on my notebook where I wrote the class and it didn't complain. 2) One of your messages is messed up or different in some way. I'd backup my inbox and then delete the messages a dozen at a time, try readmail after each delete until the message stops (hopefully). Then reload the whole lot and look closely at the latest deletes.

Hi Nigel,

I deleted all the messages(had only 5 of them) and tried it again.
No errors when there is no messages in the inbox, the readmail function worked fine this time. However, as soon as i add one message in the inbox, the error pops up again. I tried many messages, just to be sure.

I decided to modify the call to the readmail function.
Removing the foxpro error messages before calling it, and activating them again after the call. This will suppress the error message and i can still use the return code from the readmail function to check if something went wrong.

Here is what i did:

****************
on error z=0
ErrCode=thisform.mapi1.readmail()
on error
*****************

Not the best, but it does the job. I wonder if it has something to do with the mapi ocx/dll versions i have?
