Hi,

I'm trying to run this code

MailSend( "Outlook", "", "myemailaddress", "subject", "my text" )
and it returns
Sending Mail Failed: Mail return failure!
Do I need a password for using Outlook (Exchange)?

Thanks,
Con.

Yes, inavalid login could be a problem, however it usually
returns Mail Login failure. In your case, I think your email client either does not allow sending email programmatically because of the "High" security settings in the Outlook options or your email server does not like the recipients address.

Try lowering the security settings or using SMTP email protocol in 24x7 instead of MAPI. In the last case 24x7 will not use your email client to send emails.

I changed the settings to Low on Internet, Lan security settings etc..
I'm also sure the recipient is correct. Is there anything else that might
be wrong with the MAPI config?

Try changing "Send Method" in 24x7 options (Tools/Options menu). If you have "send by name" change it to "send by address" or the opposite.

Alternatively, you can choose to use SMTP email interface in 24x7 instead of using MAPI and Outlook.

Great,

Sending "By Name" works for any type of address
I can use in outlook.
