API for send email
Noixe
I'm italian, sorry for my english :-)
Is there an API of Windows for send an email with attachment?
Something as FtpPutFile to send a file at server.
Thanks

Use MAPI (MAPISendMail())
(or Winsock + RFC 821 + base64 encoding for binaries (BLAT source
code for example))

This istruction is:
lh = MAPILogon(u, "MyEmail", "MyPassword", f, u, lp);

This code don't crash but don't send email:
#include <iostream>

Hi,
The MAPI APIs can be used to send eMail in concert
with a MAPI enabled mail client on your machine.
Also, you should check the return values to determine
if the call succeeded and the message was sent.
Additionally, you can send eMail by using the SMTP protocol, the
exact name for this technology is "Simple Mail Transfer Protocol",
the SMTP server enables you to send eMail directly from your machine
without using your internet service provider's server machine.

Only if the user bothered to configure their local e-mail client. In this case,
MAPI won't work. (The user could be using a web-mail service like Gmail.)

And many ISP's block this because it's a source of spam. They force you to
relay through their SMTP servers.

MAPISendMail can be used for both cases?
Norman Bullen
should pass the size of the structure; without being familiar with the
MAPI declarations, I would guess that the three malloc() calls should be
(lpMapiMessage)malloc(sizeof(MapiMessage))
(lpMapiRecipDesc)malloc(sizeof(MapiRecipDesc))
(lpMapiFileDesc)malloc(sizeof(MapiFileDesc))

I talking about a windows shown by the program that you has sent.
I must change functions or only set some flag?

That message is designed to stop software sending emails without the
user confirming.
You need to use a completely different method to send them.
We however just settled with using ClickYes as it is a single internal
system.

With C++ Builder 3 I haven't error but I don't know how use the function
MAPILogonEx()
SubmitMessage()

It depends on which api you use.
There are several samples in MSDN, like KB200174, but I've had to modify
them to make them work...
Otherwise, you can also use CDOSYS. It's what works best for me on XP
with a very few lines of code.
(CoCreateInstance() on IMessage, IMessage::get_Fields()
ADODB::FieldsPtr::get_Item(),
ADODB::FieldPtr::put_Value() for recipient,
IMessage::AddAttachment(), ... etc... IMessage::Send())

Only api necessary for send email with attachment without the window of

I have seen that message, but where I could find:
Mapi32.LIB
Version.LIB
Edkdebug.LIB
Edkmapi.LIB
Edkutils.LIB
Addrlkup.LIB
Edkguid.LIB
Rulecls.LIB
Msvcrt.LIB
???
Maybe it necessary outlook 2007

It is a SDK? I would want to know if I needs download something or is all
included in windows

No, it's a COM DLL, included since Win2000

Mingw don't support that istruction.

mapi32.lib, version.lib are standards libs (VS.NET or PSDK)
edkdebug.lib is an old lib (furnished with VC++ 6)
You can download its source at

Firstly, Extended MAPI will only work if the client machine has Outlook or
Exchange installed as the default Mail Client. If Outlook Express (or
WinMail) is the default mail Client then Extended MAPI does not apply and
you will have to use Simple MAPI.
Secondly, it is not recommended to statically link to the MAPI32.LIB as MAPI
is very fluid, for example you should no longer reference MAPI32.DLL but
instead use MAPISTUB.DLL (and its presence is Outlook version dependant) -
and the preferred method is to use LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress() to get
a pointer to each function you are interested in.
Thirdly, if you do want to limit yourself to Extended Mapi/Outlook/Exchange
then there is a third party DLL available called Redemption which will most
likely make your life easier rather then you having to take a crash course
with the complicatd ins and outs of Extended MAPI.
