Dolphin email (MAPI) usage

Gents
    I've got to the point where I'd like my current project to send out
    emails automatically. Looking at the libraries available
    (DelfinMAPI) it seems easy enough except for the fact that the user
    requires a MAPI profile on the machine in use. I basically need two
    questions answered if anyone knows how;

    1) Is there a way of detecting the names of profiles already in
    existence from within Dolphin.

    2) Is there a way of creating new profiles from within Dolphin.

    The 'within Dolphin' part is quite important as my company has it's
    own email client so users will not have any reason to setup or use
    Outlook/Express.

                thanks

Andrew,

is using MAPI a must? I decided against MAPI in one of my projects because
it has it's only problems (enumerate profiles, timeouts ...).

I decided to go with plain old SMTP using a goodie which I found here:

CU,

Udo

It depends on the client (OE, Outlook, Netscape mail, eudora, etc)

The only way I know to use (may be create) profiles programatically, is
using the information of the windows registry. There is stored the profiles
configured for the mail client program. Have in mind that each client
program stores it in a different way

Hi Dmitry,
I've also tested this before and just now I need it for a real
application, but if hit a problem you may know the answer to.

running a test I het this error:
======================================================================
a HRESULTError('HRESULT Error: The "SendUsing" configuration value is
invalid. (FACILITY_ITF)')
======================================================================

and inspecting the object's configuration shows me this which doesn't
look right.

======================================================================
a CDOIConfiguration(an ADOCollection(an
ADODBField('http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/languagecode'='en-au')
an
ADODBField('http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/postusing'=0)
an
ADODBField('http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing'=0)
an
ADODBField('http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/usemessageresponsetext'=true)
an ADODBField('urn:schemas:calendar:timezoneid'=18)))
======================================================================

Thanks,
Theo

It's a problem of server but not code.

Try to look there:

Thanks Dmitry,
Found the code (two versions see below One: and Two:), but the fields in
the CDOIconfig after executing the a test seems to be missing something.

One: ===============
Set cdoConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
With cdoConfig.Fields
         .Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
         .Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "<enter_mail.server_here>"
         .Update
     End With

Two: ==============
myMailServer = "smtp.catamaranco.com"
     sch = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/"
     Set cdoConfig = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
     cdoConfig.Fields.Item(sch & "sendusing") = 2
     cdoConfig.Fields.Item(sch & "smtpserver") = myMailServer
     cdoConfig.fields.update

My test to set the configuration is:
        config:= CDOIConfiguration new.
        x:= config fields
        x inspect

====== cut from inspector====
an ADOCollection(an
ADODBField('http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/languagecode'='en-au')
an ADODBField('http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/postusing'=0)
an ADODBField('http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing'=0)
an
ADODBField('http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/usemessageresponsetext'=true)
an ADODBField('urn:schemas:calendar:timezoneid'=18))
====== end cut=============

As you can see there is no field with the required "cdoSMTPServer", is
this a problem with WindowsXP and thew CDO setup for Windows 2000 Active
X components? or have I missed something?

Regards,
Theo
