Using a 3rd party Email notification program w/ Outlook

[AMT]

Good Day Everyone,
I have a 3rd party Program that Notifies end-users via
email and utiziles Outlook as the transporter. I am able
to use the functionality, but Outlook is giving me a
prompt each time the program tries to access Outlook to
transport the message.
How do I configure this so that Outlook does not prompt
but just transport the 3rd party message? It prompts the
following:

"A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have
stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this?"

"If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should
choose No"

Then it contains a check box to allow acces for a maximum
of 10 minutes

Now at this point i Click 'yes' then another prompt
appears stating:
"A program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your
behalf
Do you want to allow this?"

At this point a progress bar generates after which it
prompts me to click "yes or no"

When I click yes, then the message is sent to Outlook and
transported to the recipients Inbox.

Please help.

AMT

The security dialogs that pop up when an application tries to access certain
Outlook properties and methods are designed to inhibit the spread of viruses
via Outlook; see http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm#autosec. They
cannot be simply turned on or off with a user option or registry setting.

However, Outlook 2003 does not show security prompts on three specific types
of applications:

-- VBScript code in published, non-oneoff Outlook forms

-- Outlook VBA code that uses the intrinsic Application object

-- Outlook COM add-ins properly constructed to derive all objects from
the Application object passed by the OnConnection event

In earlier versions of Outlook, standalone users can use a free tool called
Express ClickYes (http://www.express-soft.com/mailmate/clickyes.html) to
click the security dialog buttons automatically. Beware that this means if a
virus tries to send mail using Outlook or gain access to your address book,
it will succeed.

If you're the administrator in an Exchange Server environment, you can
reduce the impact of the security prompts with administrative tools. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/admin.htm

If it's an application you wrote yourself and either your application needs
to support versions besides Outlook 2003 or your application runs extenal to
Outlook, you have these options for modifying your program to avoid the
security prompts (roughly in order of preference):

-- Use Extended MAPI (see http://www.slipstick.com/dev/mapi.htm) and C++
or Delphi; this is the most secure method and the only one that Microsoft
recommends. However, it applies only to COM add-ins and external programs;
you cannot use Extended MAPI in Outlook forms or VBA.

-- Use Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/), a third-party
COM library that wraps around Extended MAPI but parallels the Outlook Object
Model, providing many methods that the Outlook model does not support

-- Use SendKeys to "click" the buttons on the security dialogs that your
application may trigger. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm#autosec for a link to sample
code.

-- Program the free Express ClickYes
(http://www.express-soft.com/mailmate/clickyes.html) tool to start suspended
and turn it on only when your program needs to have the buttons clicked
automatically.

ok, if I want to bypasss the Mailmate program, can i
simply un-install Outlook 2000 or should I install Outlook
2003. Is Outlook 2003 aka Outlook XP? Where would I have
to go to disable the security prompt option? and is
Outlook 2003 compatable with Windows NT4 platform?

Thank you..

There is no such thing as Outlook XP. The version of Outlook in Office XP
was Outlook 2002.

Outlook 2003 is not compatible with Windows NT. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2003.htm#sysreq

All versions of Outlook from Outlook 2000 SR-1 on have the security
features. As the information I posted earlier says, you cannot disable the
security prompt in those versions.

Hi there I just came across this message and have been getting these
same messages popping up when I open outlook. My question is could
this be the result of my office using what I think is called net
folders. we share calendars and contact to each other this way and
have full access to edit the calendars and contacts. This works great
for our small office but could it be the cause of these messages
popping up. Sorry if this is not meant to be posted here, someone
linked me to this thread to see if it will help.

Net folders shouldn't cause it - see
