Hi

I have an application written in VSNET2003 (VB / CF.NET). From that I want
to send an email. I did not find any framework api function which can
connect me to SMTP server and send an email. Can somebody throw some light
on this?

I would like to do following... so if somebody knows regarding sending email
from PocketPC devices..please let me know

1. using some kind of SMTP API send email from an application
(so if the device is connected to internet, the app will connect to an SMTP
server and send email)

2. alternatively, using MAPI, drop a composed mail (ALONG WITH ATTACHMENT)
into the outbox of a particular account profile of the Outlook.
I do not want the mail to be dropped in the ActiveSync profile of the
Outlook. When I looked into the CEMAPI api, the MAPI API for WInCE devices,
I believe OpenMsgStore function ignores the the MessageStore name and uses
only the Default messageStore... namely the ActiveSync?
May be I am wrong in understanding the whole affair.

thanks in advance

regards
dev guy

profile of the outlook.
can we not choos the profile?

I would like to send the emails in the outbox via CF modem and not
activesync
