I use the CDO objects to perform outlook integration from an external

application, with Redemption to perform safe mail sending. This works fine

for most modes, however:

If an exchange mail account (and I persume any POP or IMAP accounts are the

same) has the "Always prompt for user name and password" option in its

security settings enabled, I can access the inbox, but not send mail. The

mail I send goes into the Drafts folder and stays there.

Usually, when manually using Outlook, a send and recieve will prompt for the

username and password, however under automation, that prompt seems to be

supressed.

When I issue the Logon command to the namespace, no paramters seem available

to offer authentication for the automation session.

Is there any workaround for this?

I can use RDO objects from redemption if neccissary, or use CDO objects

Many Thanks
 
Sending using code is a 2 step process. First you send the item, then you

start the email transport.

Since Outlook 2002 the old CDO.DeliverNow() method no longer works (nor does

Redemption.MAPIUtils.DeliverNow()) because there is no MAPI spooler. Usually

what people do is to use the Outlook SyncObjects collection, getting

SyncObjects[1] and calling Start() on it. That's the equivalent of manually

using Send/Receive on the default send/receive group.

Even with RDO you still need to engage the transport that way. There's code

showing this on the Redemption Web site, in the FAQ section.

Re: sending mail when Otlook in 'always prompt for user name and p

Further to this fix, I have noticed in outlook 2003 that I get a top most,

blocking authentication window, but in 2007 The window is created but not

pushed to the front, and it does not block.

Does anybody know a way to make the SyncObjects.Start() method block on

outlook 2007. (perhaps I can hand the application a windows handle or

something?)

Any further help is greatly appreciated!

Many thanks

Re: sending mail when Otlook in 'always prompt for user name and p

SyncObject.Start() starts an asynchronous process, so there's no real

blocking method. You can however subscribe to the SyncObject.SyncEnd() and

SyncObject.OnError() events to let you know when the process stops or fires

an exception.

So what you can do is to loop and check a global Boolean flag that's cleared

when you start the synch and is set (or vice versa) when the SyncEnd() event

fires. I'd also use some sort of fail safe like a check of the system time

in the loop with a maximum allowed loop interval so you avoid the

possibility of an endless loop for whatever reason.

However, since the synch can take varying amounts of time depending on

number and size of messages sent and received, bandwidth to the mail server,

etc. there may be a long blocking period when the synch is started before it

completes.
