Microsoft Outlook Question

[Brian_Beal]

These property nodes refer to the ActiveX calls.  You will need to configure them for whatever version of Outlook that you are running on your machine.

I want to send mails using my Lotus Notes, its the only thing configured on my (in fact everyone's) machine.

I am using : SMTP Email Send Message.vi and getting the error as { TCP Read in SMTP Email TCP Read xTP Reply.vi->SMTP Email Command.vi->SMTP Email Open Session.vi->SMTP Email Send Message.vi->send mail.vi } error code 66... since I am very new to these mail sending concepts, I would like to know

1. if I should keep my lotus notes ON/OFF while performing the operation

2. and secondly, what are the settings that I need to take care so as to send my mails properly

1.  You don't have to have Notes open. 

2.  Get the right mail server name from your IT staff.  Use that for the 'mail server' input of the VI.

I wanted to jump into this topic. I have been trying on and off to do this for about a year and cannot get it to work, I have verified that the name is correct. I know because I can telnet into the server and because when I run the example vi it shows the connection to be OK. But when I go to send a message I get an error 500 saying invalid command unrecognized command. any suggestions.

Hi Khalid,

Thanks for the suggestions. The first one is fine. In case of the second, I have talked to our IT dept who say that it must be getting blocked because of firewall or some other network congestion. Don't know exactly where the blockage is happening. Will get back if I happen to get thru the our firewall.

Just exactly how do you do that? I have Outlook Express Ver 6.

how to get the Vi provided above to send with attachment?

thanks

I'm not sure what you are asking.  Please ask it in a different way.

oh, sorry

I tried the Send Email Sub.vi which some one posted earlier and just wondering how to make it to send with an attachment. I am using LV6.1 so there is a limmitation of functions and Help section. I knew some later versions of Labview have function to send email and such.

Thanks

You're almost there! In the Mail Item property node you'll see a property called Attachments, which outputs a refnum. Wire that refnum into an invoke node and select the Add method as shown below. I haven't tested it, but something very similar should work just fine for you.
