Emailing Using Hotmail / Yahoo

Hi,

Not sure whether this is possible but what i want is to add an "Send To
A Friend" button, but i want the button to send an email to an address
(Specified by user) from my personal Hotmail or Yahoo account instead
of starting the users default email client.

Thanks for any help

Jason

You should be glad that this is not easily possible. BTW, it is possible
that there is no default e-mail client.

Probably you are looking for a form-mailer instead. That does not have
anything to do with your personal Hotmail or Yahoo account, though. And
unless you have a server with server-side JavaScript or JScript support
(the latter through ASP) and intend to use that for the form-mailer, it
does not to have anything to do with J(ava)Script at all.

Definitely not, unless you use a public form-mailer service, such as
<URL:http://formmailer.com/>, or a similar service of your Webspace
provider.

You can use any server-side application that provides an SMTP interface.
However, if it is not Server-Side JavaScript, or server-side JScript with
ASP, it is out of the scope of this newsgroup.

Sophisticated and simple are almost always mutually exclusive.

I have a table called Contact_Info. I have a form that allows me to show all the contacts from a specified city and sector. Once these contacts appear on my new form I would like to be able to press a button and it would take their email addresses, from the 'email' field, and enter them into Outlook in the "TO:" box so that they can all be emailed the same document. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you, Brendan

Hi I am setting up emailing for an all Access contact management app and DO NOT want to use Outlook. Aspemail.dll (aspemail.com) works fine, but... Unless you pay the licence fee for the premium features, you cannot access a smtp host that requires authentication with username and password.

In Access2000 mass emailing worked perfectly (very powerful tool!). Doesn't work when using XP version of both Access and Outlook, even though I checked the box to ensure that I was sending the email. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

My code below is supposed to email me when an error occurs on the application, but it's not emailing anything. Am I missing something? I know the smtp servers I've tried work. I even added a App_Start handler to see if I could get emailed at all even from the first request of the app, but to no avail. Could someone please help me out? Thanks a lot! --Thiago Web developer AgniTEK

What is the best way to launch outlook from an asp.net web page? Can you do this using MAPI or is there a control that you can purchase? We are unable to use SMTP. We use MS Exhange and MAPI currently for our client/server apps.
