OK ... so you are using SMTP to an Office 365 Exchange account. That is not a problem, but it's not exactly saving it through Outlook. I do automated emails using SMTP all the time, and it's actually a much simpler process.
However, I wanted to use MAPI with the FWH Mail class, but do it unattended. MAPI works fine, but for each email it pops up the email and the user must manually send them. I asked if there was a flag that allows us to just send them without the email popup but received no response.
Again, I'm interested in using Outlook as the unattended MAPI service. The benefit is this. First, the account name on the outlook is the local one for that computer. Thus, it is logged in the Sent folder, and any responses come back directly to that computer. It makes it very easy to send and receive emails and keep track of them. It's never a problem with individual ones, but I also have a set of reminder emails sent automatically each night. I'd love to also use MAPI for that ... but need the ability to do it without having each email display.
Why not just use SMTP ? For whatever reason, our CDO and SMTP options do not always behave. Some of my clients just can't get those to work, even when Outlook does.
