Below is a sample program which sends an email, using the above 3 steps. Note the error testing logic after each function call. Refer to MAPI_Equates for a list of commands and flags that can be sent to the MAPI type functions, and the error codes returned.

A good test of MAPI functions is to send an email to yourself. Make the From: and To: entries your email address. Then see if, after you run the program, the email shows up in your in box. |
Depending on your email settings, the login dialog may display whether or not you have set the MAPI_LOGON_UI$ flag. For example, there is a security setting in Microsoft Outlook Express that forces the login dialog to display. Each email environment is different. Check with your email administrator. |
