Hell Friends!

i got anothe problem. This time, with CDONTS.

i tested my code and sent a mail through cdonts.newmail. its working.

But when i try to access my mailbox with cdonts.session and count the 

number of messages with its message method. i always gets the total count 

of 0 messages, whereas i got a bulk of messages in my mailbox.



Set objSession = server.CreateObject("cdonts.Session")

     objSession.LogonSMTP "superman","superman@m..."

     

     set objInbox = objSession.Inbox 

     set colMsgs = objInbox.Messages

     

    Response.Write  "<br>" & colMsgs.count



Note: the userid and email address are valid.



So if you have some idea about that then pls let me know.

Thanks

CDONTS cannot access the inbox of Exchange Server. With the CDONTS

session .Inbox property you just read out the messages that the IIS SMTP

server has stored in his file system.



To access an Exchange Server mailbox you either need to use CDO 1.21 (or

Extended MAPI with C/C++ or Delphi only) or, if you have Exchange 2000

Server, ADO, CDOEX, OLEDB, XML & WebDAV

Hi...

Ok...as you told me .. with the inbox property i can read the mails that 

are stored on the  SMTP server. As i got mails on my mailbox. then why is 

it it showing a count of 0 (zero) mails. Plus. just to inform you that . i 

got SMTO setupon my Pc. i m runnning windows 2000 professional. and there 

is a Windows 2000 Server in my LAN setup where the mail server is 

configured tooo. i want to access mail from there. Though i havent got any 

mail in the initpub directory on my Local PC. what do u think .. is it 

reading the mails from my own PC SMTP mail directory. thats why its 

showing a count of zero mails. So i m doing to overcome that .

Please let ne know .

Thanks

It reads the local SMTP server directory only.

And here your problem starts.

In this case, you need to run the code on this remote SMTP server.

Right.

Definitely. The CDOSYS/CDONTS session method reads the messages from the

filesystem on the local machine.

Yep.



So i m doing to overcome that .



Run the code on the remote SMTP server. Or even better, stop using the

SMTP server for that task and build a real mailbox machine which you can

with valid client protocols (either NT-Mail with POP3/IMAP4 should do

the trick).
