MAPI password problem
#517

The situation :
Two programs; One, a configuration program the other, an automated
mailer that gets launched by a task scheduler.
The configuration program, among other things, will save an Outlook/MAPI
profile name and a password for the mail subsystem, to a configuration
file.
Automated program picks up the configuration file, logs into mail
subsystem, sends one message (address is another configuration option),
logs off.
My problem is this : either MAPI comes back with its own password screen
and a little checkbox that lets you save the password permanently to its
own internal configuration, or it goes and logs you straight into the
mail system without a password screen (i.e. you have previously saved
the password).
In either case, it seems to ignore all passwords I pass as a parameter
to the MAPILogon function, regardless of what I set for the flags
parameter and regardless of whether the password is correct or not.
I am trying to allow for a situation where the user is happy to save a
password for this program to send messages, but doesn't want anyone to
use Outlook itself withour entering a password, which I think is the
case if you put a tick in the checkbox on the login screen.
My test machine is running Outlook 2000, if that matters (?).

Ta very much in advance
