It's me again, and I never stop asking questions :)
I want to incorporate the ability to send/read email in clarion. This could be very useful if you need to contact a certain group of users, get and analyze mails and so on.
One of the ways you might do this is using MAPI. I just have no idea how to implement this into clarion code, and that's where I hope you can help me.
I am not interested in using third party templates and so on for several reasons. One being compability with newer versions of clarion.
Using clarion 6.3 with the legacy template set.

MAPI is an exceedingly difficult subject, far too complicated for us to explain in a message thread. If you're not willing to purchase a 3rd-party template, you should at least purchase a 3rd-party book on MAPI. Otherwise, you'll never surmount this goal.
Once you understand how to handle MAPI, then it will be relatively "simple" to call the necessary API functions from Clarion to do the job.

The alternative would be the pop3 / smtp approach, but for that to work I need someone to help me with communicating with ports (see prev post).
I am not interested in the advanced features of MAPI, only the features having to do with sending and reading normal email.
I did find some info over at clarionmag (Receiving email with MAPI), but my newbieism is still in effect, so I have a little trouble understanding all of it.

Hi Gammalost (Norwegian cheese),
Purchase Nettalk3 (or some other 3`rdparty), and do your email`s within a wery short time.
Why invent the weel again ?

I would agree with Mike, Mapi is a vast and complex entity on it its own to deal with.
Nettalk would certainly be the way to go Gammalost if you are going to be handling alot of port and tcp/ip communication as they have build in easy to understand templates for an array of things you seem to want to do already and you can handcode some functionality from scratch as well with the same template, really just worth the time and money to buy it :)
