Michael,
You can use the mapi control to start the session with hard coded login
parameters. You need to specify the login parameters for the OCX and then
start the session. The key is to make sure that the session actually ends.
I wouldn't recommend doing this on a PC where the user may also start an
e-mail program such as Outlook Express. Any applications that do not force a
new session will use your hidden session by default and the items would not
go into the sent items box for the user.
We have used the Mapi Controls in the past with Progress without any
problems.
In order to utilize the silent Mapi session the client must have the
appropriate Ocx controls and Dll's.
Thanks,

This is true.
Possibly. I created a Visual Basic application using the Microsoft MAPI
controls and set it so that the window was not visible but yet it connects
to a mail server. When executed, nothing shows on the screen or task bar,
however if you hit Ctrl-Alt-Del you can see that the application is running
and "EndTask" it. Then ran a global alert test out of Vantage and the alert
was e-mailed correctly and seemed to work fine. I was prompted at the
Visual Basic program startup for a e-mail login, but this might be able to
be hard coded into the application or set as a default somewhere. I have
only recently started experimenting with the MAPI controls so I can not say
for sure that this would work.

We are running Citrix clients for Data Collection But in order to get
all the global alerts to work. Vantage support told me that you have
to have an e-mail client running each work station. My question is
there a way to run an e-mail client so the user does not see it and
still run Citrix.
Thanks
