SMTP Email configuration Setting



Email configurations


Brings 4 ways for you to send emails:


(All this is quite technical. Call UniRes support for assistance, or if you understand geek talk,  read on..)


1 – MAPI - Uses the WinAPI MapiSendMail to try to send the current report as an attachment.


This setting sends a standard message, with one or more attached files and a cover note. The cover note is a dialog box that allows the user to enter a list of recipients and an optional message and other sending options. It will open a dialog email sending message, waiting for a user interaction. The message will not be sent automatically. It’s up to the user to veryfy the information ofthe message and to click at the “Send” button.

This function tries to establish a session using the messaging system's shared session. If no shared session exists, it will fail sending the message.


This works pretty well if you have your default account set using MS Outlook Express, MS Outlook or Windows Live Mail. Definitely, it’s the easiest way to send your messages, because this way, FoxyPreviewer will use the default Email configuration of the computer.



2 - MAPI Alternative – Uses the WinAPI MapiSendDocuments to try to send the current report as an attachment.


The MAPISendDocuments function sends a standard message with one or more attached files and a cover note. The cover note is a dialog box that allows the user to enter a list of recipients and an optional message and other sending options.

This function tries to establish a session using the messaging system's shared session. If no shared session exists, it will fail sending the message.


This works pretty well if you have your default account set using MS Outlook Express, MS Outlook or Windows Live Mail. Definitely, it’s the easiest way to send your messages, because this way, FoxyPreviewer will use the default Email configuration of the computer.


Although MS says that “The use of this function is discouraged. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions of Windows.”, it’s been working well in all OS’s, from WinNT to Win 10

4 – CDO


Uses the CDO2000 component included in windows 2000 and later. It allows you to send emails using a SMTP server. All settings must be accurate in order to make this work. For example, below is the configuration for a “Hotmail” or “Live” account to send emails.
