in reply to another perl and outlook question

A few years ago I wrote an app that displayed Outlook contacts within a VB app. I used CDO, but if I remember correctly, the trick is to make sure a MAPI user account is created for the IIS user.

    that sounds like it may work, but i am not sure what you mean by, "make sure a MAPI user account is created for the IIS user." is that for exchange? i am just using outlook? not exchange... i am kinda at a loss, thanks for the reply though.

      What I had to do on the server is:

      1) Install Outlook
      2) In the Control Panel, open the Mail applet and Add a user.

      I'm trying to find my original code (it's on a CD somewhere). When I do, I'll let you know specifically what I had to do. I remember it was a real pain, but once it was working, the client *loved* it. :-)

      when i add it to the server, do i use the same name as the guest account (IUSR_COMPUTERNAME) ? and i am unsure what to add for the smpt or pop3 servers? localhost? ...thanks for the info.
