Email failure.

rbuser

Hi.

I get an error when i attempt to send a mail-report as pdf. The error is
"Undefined failure". The report pdf is created. I have no problem sending
mail from this pc using outlook. Any idea on what the problem might be? I
use RADStudio 2009 and RB 11.0.8.311.

Hi Terje,

Are you able to recreate this issue with the email example (Demo 110)?
Which email plugin are you using? Is Outlook open when you are trying to
send? Are you sending from an app running inside the IDE?

Please provide more information about how your application is designed and
the process you are taking to send the email.

Hi Nico,

I have tried the demo and the MAPI(Default email client) works well when
Outlook is closed.
Indy(Built in email client) does not give any error but it does not send any
mail either. I have included
this event in my code " TppEmail(ppReport1.Email).SMTP.OnEmailError".
Email from preview works when Outlook is closed.
I load my reports from database into the TReport. I set the emailsettings
properties after the report
is loaded. In my applicationcode i have not included this "
TppSMTPPlugIn.RegisterClass(TppSMTPMapi);"
Can this be the problem?

Is there a way i can send email with Outlook open?

Best regards,
Terje

The two latest Outlook versions do not support MAPI. You will have to
use the ppSMTPOutlook plugin.

Hi Terje,

Take a look at the following article on sending emails with Outlook open.

I believe this is incorrect. We currently have either Outlook 2010 or
Outlook 2007 installed on our machines and the MAPI plugin functions
correctly.

Hi Nico!

That did it for me. My application run as admin and outlook run as user. I
set outlook to run as admin
and it works. Another problem. When i set
EmailSettings.PreviewInEmailClient=false for a "silent mail"
i get this outlook message that says " a program is trying to send a message
on your behalf etc.". Is there
a way to avoid this message?

Hi Terje,

Unfortunately using Simple MAPI (the version included with Delphi), it is
not possible to remove this message. Microsoft's rules, not ours.

You currently have two options for working around the limitation.

1. Use a direct email utility such as Indy or Synapse. Both of these
plugins connect directly to your email server and send messages silently.

2. Use the Extended MAPI library. ReportBuilder does not currently support
Extended MAPI but it is possible to use it with the EasyMapi plugin
(ppSMTPEasyMapi.pas) and the EasyMapi product. http://www.rapware.nl

We plan to research and possibly add Extended MAPI support for a later
release of ReportBuilder.
