Send email via MSN email account

Submitted by Sergey on December 22, 2009 - 09:47

MSN SMTP server requires SSL connection on port 25.

Sample code below uses CDO 2000 class for sending emails

This is sample code. Add error handling and adjust to your requirements as necessary.

* Replace addresses with real ones before running the code
 
loMail = NEWOBJECT("Cdo2000", "Cdo2000.fxp")
 
WITH loMail
	.cServer = "smtp.live.com"
	.nServerPort = 25	
	.lUseSSL = .T.
 
	.nAuthenticate = 1 	&& cdoBasic
 	.cUserName = "yourAccount@live.com"
	.cPassword = "yourPassword"
 
	*.cFrom = "yourlAccount@live.com"
 
	.cFrom = .cUserName
 
	.cTo = "somebody@otherdomain.com, somebodyelse@otherdomain.com"
 
	.cSubject = "CDO 2000 email through MSN SMTP server"
 
	* Uncomment next lines to send HTML body
	*.cHtmlBody = "<html><body><b>This is an HTML body<br>" + ;
	*		"It'll be displayed by most email clients</b></body></html>" 	
 
	.cTextBody = "This is a text body." + CHR(13) + CHR(10) + ;
			"It'll be displayed if HTML body is not present or by text only email clients"
 
	* Attachments are optional
	* .cAttachment = "myreport.pdf, myspreadsheet.xls"
ENDWITH
 
IF loMail.Send() > 0
	FOR i=1 TO loMail.GetErrorCount()
		? i, loMail.Geterror(i)
	ENDFOR
	* Clear errors
	loMail.ClearErrors()
ELSE
	? "Email sent."
ENDIF
