Thread: Creating and putting a message in the outbox.

How can I creating a message, then put it in the outbox? (This is using Outlook Express.)

Thanks, August.

Cdo?

So there is't some kind of folder that the outbox messages are stored in?

I googled it, no help. I don't understand most everything discussed.
Does anyone know of a tutorial or somthing that isn't so complicated?

The following Simple MAPI sample will add a message to the outbox of OE or whatever email client has installed itself as the default MAPI client. A security dialog will be shown before the message is sent. There are a couple of email samples here. They require the DispHelper library.

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <mapi.h>
#include <stdio.h>

ULONG xSendEmail(PSTR szSubject, PSTR szMessage, PSTR szRecipient)
{
	HMODULE        hMapi         = NULL;
	LPMAPISENDMAIL pMAPISendMail = NULL;
	MapiMessage    msg           = { 0 };
	MapiRecipDesc  recip         = { 0 };

	recip.ulRecipClass = MAPI_TO;
	recip.lpszAddress  = szRecipient;

	msg.lpszSubject  = szSubject;
	msg.lpszNoteText = szMessage;
	msg.nRecipCount  = 1;
	msg.lpRecips     = &recip;

	hMapi = LoadLibrary(TEXT("mapi32.dll"));

	if (hMapi)
	{
		pMAPISendMail = (LPMAPISENDMAIL) GetProcAddress(hMapi, "MAPISendMail");

		if (pMAPISendMail)
		{
			return pMAPISendMail(0, 0, &msg, 0, 0);
		}

		FreeLibrary(hMapi);
	}

	return ERROR_INVALID_DLL;
}


int main(void)
{
	ULONG ret = xSendEmail("Test Message", "Hello world!\r\nThis is a test.", "[email protected]");

	if (ret == SUCCESS_SUCCESS)
	{
		printf("Success!\n");
	}
	else
	{
		printf("Failed with error code %d.\n", ret);
	}

	getchar();
	return 0;
}

Thanks a lot anonytmouse.

Is there a way I can delete a message in the sent folder?

also, how do you get all of the addresses in the contact list? (Buddy list)
