outlook express and VB .net

[anthony]

I was wondering if anybody would know how to open specific
messages in outlook express from within a Vb .net desktop program.
The program would scan all the messages in outlook and
only open tonyf.com attachments.
I have the vb .net standard edition so Im not sure about
the message queue capabilities etc,even though you would
probably just use those on a network.
I know how to send messages in a web application by importing
the system.web.mail class,but its a desktop application Im
concerned about.
Thanks

You cant access Outlook Express from VB6, so I doubt it will work
from VB.Net either. If it were the regular OutLook, there is an
object library, and it should be possible to reference it from VB.Net.

You would think you would be able to access it,or at least send
a mail attachement to a text folder.I dont know what
you mean by "regular outlook"?
Thanks anyway

Regular Outlook is one of the Office suite apps. Outlook Express
is just a mail/newsreader addin for IE. It doesnt have an OLE/
ActiveX library in it (or if it does, it is a hidden, private one).
