I would recommend reading the error message - it's in there, that's what the message is for. If you are having trouble with the error message, post it and we will help you disseminate it.

HI..

yes man try to post your error message with your code, but i think you have more than 1 error within your code, first you was define your structure with "mail" name and then with the structure typedef name is "mail" you must make different between names like that

 typedef struct _MAIL 
{
var list..
} MAIL; //this is not variable because you specify "typedef" KEYWORD
 

second you specify "user sender;" and recevier within your structure and you didnt give us what "user" type is???.

finally :you cannot use this line ,try to use pointer type instead

mail1.body= {"this is the body of the message"};
