Email on pocket pc2003

[bluesxx]

Hi,

I'm new and trying to produce my first application.

I have an IPAQ running pocket PC2003 and I'm trying to send an email from my application. There's no outlook for ppc2003 so I can't do it from the outlook.dll and I can't find any other library with any email calls.
According to the documentation the outlook library replaced an email library, do I have to go back to an earlier version of basic4ppc or can I get hold of the email library.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Bluesxx,

you could try using the shell command: shell("mailto:[email protected]","") this opens the default email program of your device - although this doesn't allow you to add an attachment automatically.

Do a search on "mailto", there are three relevant threads there.

All the best and good luck / Björn

Thanks for your help BjornF but I was trying to send an email in the background rather than bringing up the program. I was wondering if there was a copy of the email.dll available to download and whether it would be possible to add it to the basic4ppc library.

Thanks again

I don't remember such library. Maybe it was created by one of the users.

In the reference for the outlook library it says that it replaces the email library, I presumed it was email.dll

The older email library was also dependent on WM5.

I don't remember such library.

Very strange!
The EmailDesktop.dll and EmailDevice.dll were provided with Basis4ppc until version 4.x and replaced by the outlook.dll since version 5.x.

Seems like a real mystery
