QuickMail is a ready to use basic mailer, based on winsock, featuring multiple adressing, attachments encoded with base64, winsock statusbar, Contacts list and mailsender information edit. Full error handling. Good code to learn the basic of winsock mailing and the MIME 1.0 mail format. This is an 'upgraded' and rewritten version of my FastMailer submission (deleted). Special Thanks to Alon Gal for the winsock and MIME basics. All comments and suggestions welcom :-)

Try to implement something new ... like Personalizing Email Message automatically.
I mean , get the First Name , Last Name information from database for given Email address. Allow user to put some marker like <#FN#> and so on in their message ; and before you send the mail , replace these markers with concerned data (like <#FN#> with First Name and so on ...)
Just a suggestion ... (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I think it is excellent code. Maybe you can tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'd like to run it on a WIN98SE machine, reg'd the COMDLG32 (no problems) but the mailer doesn't open up. It will run fine on my W2K machine. Thanks. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
To William: You pointed me to a bug in the program: if you send a mail without spam warning, the text was not included. This bug is now fixed and all works fine now. (by the way, not using the spam warn? You wouldn't want to scare your friends with anonymous mails no?) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
This is so far wonderful! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

I'm developing a programme for the local skin diving club and as part of it I want to include an automatic mailer that sends the dive reports to those who request them.I've been searching for weeks to find an open source base64 encoder that can encode Crystal Reports reports correctly ...Congratulations ..... QuickMail has come up with the goods. Thank You (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

I am wrapping up a quote program for printers and wanted to add email without having to learn everything about Winsock or MApi. Your code is the first of 15 or so that I have tried that worked. Very well done!. Small problem..if I cancel the connect Dialog I can't press send again and have it come the Dialog box appear again to connect to the internet. If I leave QuickMail open and manually start the internet it works fine. Is there another solution. If you don't want to get involved in a Q & A support, I understand. Regards Bruce Neil Australia (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Hi Bruce, I can't really follow. Cancel which connect dialog ? Please mail me (just click my name)) and specify your problem. Hope I can help you ;-) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Though this program does look up-to-the-mark, I can't figure out which SMTP server to mention in the options box? I've tried using my own IP address in both the originating IP and SMTP server textbox but it gives an error message 'Failed sending the file: Timeout Error'. My internet connection's also fast. What can the problem be? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Though this program looks up-to-the-mark, I can't figure out what to mention in the SMTP server box. I tried using my own IP address in both the 'originating IP' and 'SMTP server' textboxes but somehow it doesn't work, and gives an error message "Failed sending the message: Timeout error". I also used my own IP addres in the 'originating IP' and used "www.hotmail.com" in the SMTP server box but it doesn't connect, and says "Error: The connection timed out". My internet speed's also fast. Can you explain where I'm blundering? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Hi Hassaan, the SMTP server is the adress to send mail through the server. This can be f.i. smtp.skynet.uk ,the incomming mail (not used here) is normally a pop3 adres, here it would be pop.skynet.uk .It has nothing to do with your IP or mailadress, but it's the mail adress of your provider for HIS incoming mail If you use outlook, goto Extra, Accounts, and check the properties of your account (server) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

I like the program and all but I can't get it to work! Can ya give me a working example of what to put in the options???? thanks!! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
All you need is a mail adress (the origin ip can be 0.0.0.0, not important) and your SMTP server (check my comment from two higher ;-) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Great App. Works Great. Question: I am trying to implement the Winsock1.connect fn. in another app. What I am trying to do is call it several times to send different messages to different email addresses. I know the fn. is automatically triggered once connected, and I am having problems with my Winsock1.connect calls being called before the previous is finished, can I use some sort of wait or sleep, so that the first connect is fininshed before the 2nd begins? Thanks. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
The Sub Winsock1_DataArrival puts the respons in strResponse (answer depends on sended data). The GetServerResponse function lets the program wait for the correct answer ("600" for end of sending body and "221" after quitting the conn.). All you need to do is write the code so that after sending the body, you keep waiting until the 600 respons returns, than send a quit and continue with the next message. You'll still need a timeout in case the response is taking too long because there's a problem. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

IMPORTANT: email servers can require authenticated login. Some require you to log into your pop account *first* before sending mail. These are protections against spam. Make sure you are using the correct protocol for your email server. BTW, gmail requires you to log into your pop account before sending mail. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Nice interface and good features. Pitty the program doesnt work. It Times out every time, no matter what the settings are. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Hi... This is excellent. Just what I've been looking for. One problem that I am experiencing is that when I run it, the first email I send sends fine, but after that I only get timeouts. I have to restart the app before it will send again. Even then it will only send 1. Any ideas? Awesome app though... (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
