Henry,
You can use OutlookExpress as a simple MAPI client, there's some example code over on my website. You might also check out some of the stuff on Rick Strahl's website
www.west-wind.com I think he has some SMTP client code.
>Can e-mail be sent via MAPI without using Outlook? We were doing this at
>work, but it seems that Outlook (on one server in particular) causes that server to freeze. As far as possible, we are not supposed to use any non-FoxPro tools, so something like JavaMail is out. If anyone can point me to some examples or other reference I'd be very grateful.
