I have tried to use the following code to add custom mail header in VB6. But it didnt work.
Can anyone help me out?
Dim lobj_cdomsg As CDO.Message
Set lobj_cdomsg = New CDO.Message
'Add the Project Reference Miscrosoft CDO WINDOWS FOR 2000
lobj_cdomsg.Configuration.Fields(cdoSMTPServer) = "servername"
lobj_cdomsg.Configuration.Fields(cdoSMTPConnectionTimeout) = 30
lobj_cdomsg.Configuration.Fields(cdoSendUsingMethod) = 2
lobj_cdomsg.Configuration.Fields(cdoSMTPAuthenticate) = 1
lobj_cdomsg.Configuration.Fields(cdoSendUserName) = "username"
lobj_cdomsg.Configuration.Fields(cdoSendPassword) = "password"
lobj_cdomsg.Configuration.Fields(cdoSMTPServerPort) = "587"
lobj_cdomsg.Configuration.Fields("urn:schemas:mailheader:X-MC-Tags") = "CKSR001"
'lobj_cdomsg.Fields("urn:schemas:mailheader:X-MC-Tags") = "CKSR002"
lobj_cdomsg.Configuration.Fields.Update
lobj_cdomsg.To = "to user"
lobj_cdomsg.From = "from"
lobj_cdomsg.Subject = "FROM VB6 CODSYS"
lobj_cdomsg.TextBody = "New Mail"
lobj_cdomsg.TextBody = "New Mail"
lobj_cdomsg.Send
Set lobj_cdomsg = Nothing
You have to add your "urn:schemas:mailheader:X-..." header as a field of the Message object, not Message.Configuration.
Add the following two lines before sending the message: (and remove your non-working line)
lobj_cdomsg.Fields("urn:schemas:mailheader:X-MC-Tags") = "CKSR001"
lobj_cdomsg.Fields.Update
Then it should work.

We have an application in VB.Net which currently send a pdf via automatic email on certain event done in application. Now we want to send the PDF in whatsapp via messagebird api. Below is a sample from messagebird
Dim WhatsAppClient As Client = Client.CreateDefault(YourAccessKey)
Dim language As HsmLanguage = New HsmLanguage()
language.Code = "en"
language.Policy = HsmLanguagePolicy.Deterministic
Dim params As List(Of HsmLocalizableParameter) = New List(Of HsmLocalizableParameter)()
Dim hsmParamName As HsmLocalizableParameter = New HsmLocalizableParameter()
hsmParamName.Default = "Bob"
Dim hsmParamWhen As HsmLocalizableParameter = New HsmLocalizableParameter()
hsmParamName.Default = "Tomorrow"
params.Add(hsmParamName)
params.Add(hsmParamWhen)
Dim hsmContent As HsmContent = New HsmContent()
hsmContent.Namespace = HsmNamespace
hsmContent.TemplateName = "verification"
hsmContent.Language = language
hsmContent.Params = params
Dim content As Content = New Content()
content.Hsm = hsmContent
Dim request As ConversationStartRequest = New ConversationStartRequest()
request.To = [To]
request.Type = ContentType.hsm
request.Content = content
request.ChannelId = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Dim message As MessageBird.Objects.Message = WhatsAppClient.StartConversation(request)
I am getting errors in "request.Type = ContentType.hsm" "HSM is not a member of string"
and in last line -
Value of type 'MessageBird.Objects.Conversations.Conversation' cannot be converted to 'MessageBird.Objects.Message'
Any push in the correct direction will help. Thanks
Looking at the MessageBird SDK I can see that https://github.com/messagebird/csharp-rest-api/blob/752b809245a72674dadf469b6f9641dcf697a4e7/MessageBird/Objects/Conversations/Content.cs the call should be
request.Type = ContentType.Hsm
Here is an example of it https://github.com/messagebird/csharp-rest-api/blob/0c5bbd13736e9f0fb1719246232698d8039915ad/Examples/Message/SendTemplatedMessage.cs
On your last error, the startConversation signature is as follows as per https://github.com/messagebird/csharp-rest-api/blob/0c5bbd13736e9f0fb1719246232698d8039915ad/MessageBird/ConversationsClient.cs:
public Conversation StartConversation(ConversationStartRequest startRequest)
This may explain the error you are seeing.
Couple of questions:
Are the above compilation errors?.
Where did you get the example you have illustrated above?.
NOTE: edited from original after I discovered the outlook version was 32-bit not 64-bit.
I have a legacy 32-bit VB6 program that uses outlook 2010 32bit (full version, not express) to send email. Works perfect on many machines except one machine with windows 7 (64-bit I assume). Not sure if all windows 7 machines don't work or just this one.
If I use the automation technique or the MAPI technique (as I call them, see code below) outlook sends the email but the mail server kicks it back as undeliverable saying the recipient does not exist.
Now if the automation technique is used outlook displays no UI and the email is sent in the background.
However if the MAPI technique is used outlook opens it's compose email dialog which allows the user to edit the email prior to sending. What is interesting is that the recipient email looks fine but will fail as undeliverable if sent. However if the recipient is deleted and re-typed then the email will succeed. I believe a copy and re-paste works also.
This tells me there must be one or more hidden illegal characters in the recipient email address (nulls perhaps?). The code to do this shown below is very plain and I can't think of any obvious fix. txtTo is a vb6 string with an email address and this is the field that is causing all the problems.
The error message:
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

More Info:
I'm making some progress. The error has to do with email type in outlook not being SMTP. If on the send-to email in the outlook compose dialog you right-click on the email address then select outlook properties and change the email type to SMTP it will work. The type displayed is the email address itself, valid values seem to be 'mailto' and 'smtp'. So if I can set the email type from vb6 it should fix the error.
The 'Answer'? https://kb.intermedia.net/article/2344
I can't believe there is no fix for this...
RESOLVED!
I realize this topic is most likely of no interest to anyone programming in the 20th century but here is the fix:
.RecipAddress = "SMTP:" & txtTo
It just came to me. :)
I am trying to send an email with multiple attachments using the VB6 MAPIMessages control.
1) I am able to use this control to send a single attachment but it displays an error saying "Attachment not found", if I try to send more than one file.
2) I also need to suppress the warning message when I try to send an email
Any ideas?
Here's the code:
MAPISession1.SignOn
MAPIMessages1.SessionID = MAPISession1.SessionID
MAPIMessages1.Compose
MAPIMessages1.RecipDisplayName = "abbid_siddiqui#hotmail.com"
MAPIMessages1.MsgSubject = "MAPI subject with attachments"
MAPIMessages1.MsgNoteText = "This is atest"
MAPIMessages1.AttachmentIndex = 0
MAPIMessages1.AttachmentName = "test.csv"
MAPIMessages1.AttachmentPathName = "C:\test.csv"
MAPIMessages1.AttachmentIndex = 1
MAPIMessages1.AttachmentName = "holidays_2013.xls"
MAPIMessages1.AttachmentPathName = "E:\holidays_2013.xls"
MAPIMessages1.ResolveName
'Send the e-mail message to the Recipient
MAPIMessages1.Send
Try setting the AttachmentPosition property to the same value as the AttachmentIndex
We made a script that automatically opens the Microsoft Outlook new mail window. Some things have to be filled in already. This works so far:
Set Arguments = WScript.Arguments
If Arguments.Count > 4 Then
Set Outlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set BodyObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set Mail = Outlook.CreateItem(0)
Mail.To = Arguments(0)
Mail.CC = Arguments(1)
Mail.BCC = Arguments(2)
Mail.Subject = Arguments(3)
Set BodyFile = BodyObject.OpenTextFile(Arguments(4))
Mail.Body = BodyFile.ReadAll
BodyFile.Close
For Counter = 5 to (Arguments.Count - 1)
Mail.Attachments.Add Arguments(Counter)
Next
Mail.Display
End If
But know we want to know if that mail gets sent by the user and we also want to know the EntryID of that mail, so we can look it up later.
Now Mail.Display doesn't return anything and the program just ends. It does not wait until the window gets closed. So after Mail.Display, there should be something like: Mail.Wait, or a Mail send event so we can get the EntryID.
Could someone help us out?
Thanks in advance,
Gillis and Emiel
I just found a probable solution from here:
You need to wait and get the EntryID
value after the item has been
delivered from the Outbox. To do this,
subscribe to the Folder.Items.ItemAdd
event on the Sent Items folder. That
event passes the newly added -- i.e.
newly sent -- item as its argument.
The item must exist first in Outlook to have an EntryID value, use the Save Property and fetch its EntryID right after
Mail.Save
strEntryID = Mail.EntryID
I've got a sample written in VBA for saving notes from Access form to Outlook
Dim outobj As Outlook.Application
Dim outappt As Outlook.NoteItem
Set outobj = CreateObject("outlook.application")
Set outappt = outobj.CreateItem(olNoteItem)
With outappt
If Not IsNull(Me!strBody) Then .Body = Me!strBody
.Save
Me!strEID = .EntryID
End With
I have a webpage that has a button that sends a letter on the page to an email recipent. Currently we are use Lotus Notes and with VB script, we are able to create an object of Lotus Notes and one of the properties for this object is PutInFolder. After the user clicks on the email button, the script will send the email and also put save the email in a certain folder on the user's computer. Our company is now switching over to Outlook 2007 and I'm looking to do the same thing with an Outlook object instead. Our development is local intranet only, and there are only a few users that will have access to this. Anyway, my problem is I cannot seem to find the same functionality with an Outlook Application.
I do have the send of the email currently working using this logic. Does anyone have any ideas on how to save the email in the user's outlook folder? I tried looking for a list of properties that I can call but I cannot find anything searching. Maybe I don't have the right terminalogy in the searches.
Thank you.

For future reference... I found the solution I was looking for. It wasn't too bad of a mess. Here's the modified source to replicate the Send and save email to a specific folder incase someone else comes looking. Thanks to Tester101 for the website I was looking for. Again this is vbscript imbedded in the HTML page.

set objOutlk = createobject("Outlook.Application")
Set objNameSpace = objOutlk.Session
set objMail = objOutlk.createitem(olMailItem)
Set myNameSpace = objOutlk.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myExplorer = objOutlk.ActiveExplorer
' 6 at least on my machine pointed to the Inbox (should be the same as constant olFolderInbox). Within the Inbox I have a folder called Test
Set myExplorer.CurrentFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(6).Folders("Test")

End If

I found this article. It might be something tha could help.

If not this site has great resources for working with outlook.
It looks like the MailItem object has a Save method, as well as a SaveAs method. So you should be able to do something like this.
objMail.SaveAs "C:\Test.msg", 3
The 3 is to save the message in olMSG format see OlSaveAsType Enumeration.
I have a solution. We've decided to bcc the person sending the email and then use an outlook rule to move the email to the specified outlook folder. Thanks to everyone that replied.
