Issuing a 'mailto: x@y ' command will start up blank e-mail using the
default mail client but that is about all you can do using the users mail
problem - you can't directly manipulate the mail via COM as a lot of people
do not just use Outlook/Outlook Express - there are millions of Pegasus
Mail, Lotus Notes, Netscape mail users out there (I even saw somebody using
MS Mail on a 3.11 box the other day <shudder>).

You just take a form, bolt in a SMTP and POP component & call them both to
get a 'Send/Receive'.

Mail 'uplifting'? If you want to do a one time mail send (ie sending a rego
code) then just do a mailto. If you have a program that does daily
processing & e-mails reports like we do then you will want to bolt in a SMTP
component & have that work in the back-ground sending e-mails with out
touching the users mail client.
