>The way I understand it, Lotus doesn't use MAPI, but its own API. It is usable, in fact check out idsMail (http://www.intuitive-data.com/idsmail.htm) which uses the same code to use all the Mail Systems. Or at least thats what they claim, and I've heard its very good.

Thanks Mike. We only claim that our package will work with a MAPI compliant email client. Problem is, our clients have got the impression from Lotus that Notes is MAPI compliant [the Lotus web site has technical documents with titles such as "Notes MAPI Service Provider Troubleshooting Guide and Known Issues"].

We're not keen on using another third-party ocx to handle the email, but I've seen a link to a previous message which may be useful in a future version of our software.

Best.

Matt.
