Hi Valter.

>Does anyone know how to programmatically retrieve the SMTP address from a user's machine?

Look in the Windows Registry (you can use the Registry class in the FoxPro Foundation Classes, or FFC, that comes with VFP) for the following keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager

The "Default Mail Account" value in this node gives the ID for the default mail account. Then use that value in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager\Accounts\the default account ID from above

This node has several values of interest, including "SMTP Email Address" and "SMTP Server". Fire up REGEDIT and look under these nodes to see what else you might want.

Hope this helps.
