RE: Wants to know about outlook with perl
You can do this from Perl if you wish. What follows is VBA code that does almost everything you want. You will have to convert it to Win32 Perl. (Hey, I can't do everything for you.) What is excluded is info regarding the username and password. This info is definitely in the Outlook VBA help file. See how to do it in Outlook VBA then simply convert the code to Win32 Perl. I have done the same thing with Access VBA and it is fairly simple. Please refer to the link "Using OLE with Perl" in the ActivePerl help file. There are many examples. ---BEGIN OFFENSIVE M$ CODE HERE- Sub SendFile() Dim ol As Outlook.Application Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem Set ol = New Outlook.Application Set olMail = ol.CreateItem(olMailItem) With olMail .Recipients.Add "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" .Subject = "My subject goes here." .Body = "This is a test." .Attachments.Add "E:\Documents\attachment.doc", olByValue .Send End With Set ol = Nothing Set olMail = Nothing End Sub END OFFENSIVE M$ CODE HERE-- -Original Message- From: Hello Buddy [mailto:hello_buddy_001@;yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 9:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Wants to know about outlook with perl Hi, I am totally beginner in Perl and programming.

RE: Wants to know about outlook with perl
Wow - First, I don't think you want to go to/from Outlook - rather you want to access the mail server that Outlook accesses. Check the tools-> accounts area to see what outlook is accessing. Next, you _can_ use perl, by way of some modules available on CPAN (www.cpan.org). You will most likely need pop3 and smtp mail components. This is a lot easier on Unix/Linux systems rather than on M$ windows. You have a steep learning curve adhead of you, but it should be fun. I would suggest you get your feet wet with some less weighty projects to learn something about perl an programming in general, but, you can always just plunge in! Please do some research: CPAN, how internet mail works (pop3/smto, etc) mail formats, etc. Jump into www.google.com and look!

RE: Wants to know about outlook with perl
Thanks Beau, Just one more questions, how about other mail application like Novell GroupWise, Lotus Notes... The main objective for me is doing job automatically without launching client mail application. Will it be possible? What CPAN modules should I study? I am on Win32 platform. My main objective is to send mail users according to server mail log file. Best regards Aung --- "Beau E.

RE: Wants to know about outlook with perl
Along the same lines of what Beau was saying, check your settings to see if you are using Exchange or SMTP (Internet Mail). If you are using Exchange, then you can still try using the SMTP modules, many Exchange servers support SMTP from internal clients as long as you are on the LAN. It depends on how much security your Network Admin has on the Exchange server. Trying to automate Outlook would be a lengthy and complicated task that I wouldn't recommend for anybody. There is a Win32::Exchange module out there that you can use to interface with the Exchange directory services, but I would recommend that for someone who was a little more comfortable with Perl, and in particular the idea of references to data structures. To get an idea of what I mean, type these at the command prompt: perldoc perlreftut perldoc perllol or even better, if you're using ActiveState (which I recommend), check out the HTML documentation and look under "Perl Core Documentation" for perlreftut and perllol. Anyway, check out these modules if you can swing it so that you can use SMTP: Mail::Sender (good for sending attachments) Net::SMTP(this module is actually a good way to get a basic understanding of how SMTP works) MIME::Lite Mail::Sendmail -Original Message- From: Beau E.

RE: Wants to know about outlook with perl
Oh - If you just want to send mail, try Mail::Sendmail v. 0.78 - Simple platform independent mailer on CPAN. Check out the documentation. Sorry - I don't know anything about your other apps, but somewhwere down deep they _must_ be using one or more of the internet swite of mail protocols (pop,pop3,smtp,imap, etc.). Good luck!
