how to send email by MS outlook express using C# code

 

[Mike Kitchen]

I have an example using the default email client on my web site if this is
any help to you.

using System.Diagnostics;

string toEmail = "(e-mail address removed)";
string subject = "Love the Program";
string body = "Thanks a lot";
string message = string.Format( "mailto:{0}?subject={1}&body={2}", toEmail,
subject, body );

Process.Start( message );

Example app can be found at

Hope this helps

data, but the user still need to to do the sending.

System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail

Yes, I know the System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail and I'm using it.
But it require using a specific mail server that require authentication,
that require user name and password that can be easily seen by looking in the
assembly, so it require encrypting the user name name and password etc.

This is why I wish to send the mail using the current default email client.

How can that be done?

Well your last post contained the statement

To do that you use MAPI, to avoid the user intervention in MAPI you
will have change the security settings on the users machine.

Now, to use authenticateion with SmtpMail check out this page:
http://www.systemwebmail.com/faq/3.8.aspx

It is really very simple, and simple typing "SmtpMail Authenticate"
(without the quotes) into Google brings up many
discussions/articles/examples on the subject.
