How do I start a MAPI session?

I've tried, but can't figure it out, I think I need to reference one of the dll's but I can't find the right one.

Can someone help?

Dim mpsSession As MAPISession
mpsSession.UserName = "myusername"
mpsSession.Password = "mypassword"
mpsSession.SignOn
mpsSession.SignOff

I think the code is right... Once I get this working, can anyone tell me if the code to actually compose and send messages is easy, or are there catches to it?

TIA

You need to include the Component ie not a ref to

Microsoft MAPI controls x

then put a session and message control on your form.

Then use something like the following:

With mpsSession
.UserName = [YOUR USER NAME] this can be tricky to determine
.SignOn
End With

With mpsMsgs
.SessionID = mpsSession.SessionID
.Compose
.RecipAddress = [AN EMAIL ADDRESS]
.ResolveName
.MsgNoteText = "Body Text"
.MsgSubject = "My Email"
.Send False
End With


Thats pretty much it.
