CDO & MAPI Programming with Visual Basic:

Summary

In this chapter, you learned about Simple MAPI, the precursor to MAPI. You learned how to use the Declare statement to gain access to this API (and others) and how to use the API to read and send messages, with or without attachments. You also learned a couple of nice extras, such as showing the address book.

In the next chapter, you’ll see a technology that is built on Simple MAPI—the MAPI ActiveX controls. If you’re looking for a quick start in messaging from Visual Basic, read on.
