Hi!

You cannot force the mail sending through MAPI. If this is MS Outlook ( not Outlook Express!), you can instantiate the instance of Outlook by createobject('Outlook.Application'), thsi should force messages to be sent as soon as application start, if appropriate option in the profile is checked (that option do not works through MAPI). Unfortunately, with Outlook Express you cannot do that. If you;re working with Exchange Server 5.0 or hire, or using W2K, take a look to the CDO (Collaboration Data Objects). Version 2.x and hire have a method similar to 'Send/Receive'. CDO is well-described in the MSDN.

If you want just to send mail and forget, take a look to the wwIPStuff library at the www.west-wind.com, excellent class that allows sending of EMail through SMTP by as simple way as possible bypassing any profiles, logons ect.

HTH.
