Hi C++ Coders,
Well for those of you who have tried building aplications that have to send automaticaly generated mail using the Mailing API (MAPI) you must have definitely come across the Simple MAPI. A very simole simple API and so much fun to use in C++, VB, and so on. But the API is quite limited in its capability. I recently tried developing a bulk-mailing application and of course having exhausted the features of simple MAPI without being able to generate a suitable solution, I turn to Entended MAPI.
The problem is . . . there hardly seem to be any worth while documentation on Extended MAPI anywhere. Now lest you acuse me of being lazy, I have ran searches on Yahoo and Google for Extended MAPI for days and I only seem to find more people out there with questions than there are answers to using this cryptic API that seems to be shrouded in Mystry. Most mailing programs of note use Extended MAPI so why is the documentation for this API scarce?
Does anyone have any helpful article, book, link or code on this subject?

Well I've always dogged around the problem by using this library, www.blat.net
You can use it to send out mail via smtp and its in the public domain
for receiving mail via pop3 there are a couple of free classes out there, too lazy to look em up right now but search codeproject.com you might find info there also its a great forum for MS programming tech.

HTH

Thanks alot @edayo, I'm downloading it right now. I realy wish I could get something on Extended MAPI however. That would realy unleash ones mailing pottentials. I hate being limited by third party softwares. In the interim I hope Blat will perform better than Simple MAPI.
