[I think I get some of my newsgroup mail out of sync, almost
certain I've been out of sequence sometimes in discussions by the time it
all comes in! Sort of itermittent thing though. Overnight things generally
sort out.]
Outlook/Outlook Express (and others) send and receive I am pretty sure that there is no system wide API to cause a
default mail client to do its thing. No requirement for mail clients to register
a Com interface that includes Send/receive for this as far as I know. Can
someone please prove me wrong?
Reco. TurboPower Ipro stuff on SourceForge.net excellant
(an now free).
Outlook Express will not generally come to the party on
anything. Unless there is something undocumented which I would love to know
about
Outlook's presence can be tested for and it exposes its
VBA type COM thingie.
There is also a CDO or CDONT thing in windows. Different
versions for different releases for different Windows ver.s
If you are not currently on a MS Subscription of some kind and
the boss won't pay for it .. for any one who does not know ..
Best resource is the free Windows SDK last updated April
2003 (you can download the whole thing for free or get a CDROM sent out for a
small fee - using a file downloader I actually downlaoded the full 13 Cabs (25mb
ea.) and associatetd files over three nights on a 56k modem. Sucessful but
had to get some files again due to pauses in the download and consequent
ocassional corruption otherwise a surprissingly painless experience.

look for a reference to the complete download page, might as well get it all! Once you've got it all, just follow their instructions about
running the batch file to reassemble the install file structure from the
CABs, give the batch file a directory where to put the install
files.
For DOS free minds:
You can use a . for current directory, (I ended up burning the
reassembled install setup onto CDROM for future reference when this was all
over and a mate used it as well - I think that was ok they don't require to
register when you download the SDK. If any one know better please let me know.
Any MVPs out there?)
At the DOS prompt change to the directory where you have put
the CABs etc and run the batch file:
c:\installMSDN> PSDK-FULL .
Then avoid the temptation to run setup or install or
whatever, instead open DEFAULT.HTM and work
through it as this lets the SDK update itself properly on future ocassions).
Don't let the computer connect during the install!
Or you might end up downloading a whole lot of repeat stuff
again(?)
The SDK also includes the old INET.CHM type stuff
(web/internet/Html/CSS/.JS etc technologies) in what is to me one of the
best help file presentation styles that MS have done on that to
date. Excellant tutorials examples etc ..
When you install it, only install the core requirements and
the bits you need, "Internet Development SDK"
or whatever. But iff you have a lot of Disk Space as usual now a
days put the whole thing on ..
There are useful bits and
pieces of information and examples that can be
reworked for delphi programming everywhere. (The
VBScript and VB examples given can normally eventually make sense to the
Delphi minded person.)
Also the redistributable bits
and pieces are available on a seperate series of downloads (they don't come in
the SDK anymore):
"You can also download redistributables available for your technology at the following location:http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdkredist.htm" More links below from the Microsoft gumpf. Paul

Nelson 7015 New Zealand February 2003 SDK Release NotesThe Microsoft� Platform SDK provides developers with documentation, header files, and sample code necessary to write software for Microsoft Windows� and Microsoft Windows NT�. The Platform SDK simplifies installation by integrating components from different SDKs and installing them in common paths on your hard disk. It can also set the search paths used by Microsoft Visual Studio�. Obtaining the Complete SDKThe Platform SDK documentation you are currently reading is made available in several ways. The main distinctions are the media and whether the documentation is shipped as part of the entire SDK (documentation, header files, libraries, samples, and tools).
The Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN�) Library Online and the MSDN Library subscription program include only the Platform SDK documentation. Therefore, it is possible to read about features you cannot use in your application without compiler errors because you lack the corresponding header files. (Note that you cannot run an application that uses a particular feature unless your operating system supports the feature.) The Platform SDK is available as part of Microsoft� Visual C++�, an MSDN Professional subscription, an MSDN Universal subscription, or as a download from the following location: http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/ The SDK is released more frequently than Visual C++. The SDK Update site allows you to download the latest SDK content from the Platform SDK. For more information about Platform SDK content included with Visual C++, see Installing the Platform SDK with Visual Studio. A low-cost SDK CD-ROM is available from the following location: https://qmedia.e-storefront.com/showcontent.asp?contentname=PlatformSDKHome The MSDN download site contains additional development kits, such as the .NET Enterprise Server SDKs, the .NET Framework SDK, the Microsoft Speech SDK, the Pocket PC SDK, the Mobile Information Server SDK, and the Driver Development Kit (DDK). You can also download redistributables available for your technology at the following location: http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdkredist.htm Platform SDK Release: February 2003
