You might try using Chr(10), which is a line feed, instead of Chr(13),
which
is a carriage return.

RE: ColdFusion & Microsoft Exchange Server
It appears that When the connection is created to a new CDO session object by calling new Session() the error is 80010106 which has to do with bed threading models - anyong know how to fix this or is anyone able to talk to CDO???

RE: ColdFusion & Microsoft Exchange Server
Thanks Dave,
ThatÂ’s cool info, however one of the problems with this code block :
username = "**";
password = "***";
servername = "**";
mailbox = "*";
objExchangeSession = createObject("COM","MAPI.Session");
objExchangeSession.Logon('#username#','#password#',false,true,-
1,false,'#servername# #chr(13)# #mailbox#');
If the the last parameter from the Logon method is dropped, it gives a
failed validation error. All the obvious things have been tried.
The docs say that the format for the profileinfo parameter is:
& vbLf &
Weird?
