SQLMail and Outlook 2003

Can confirm if SQLMail and Outlook 2003 will work with Outlook 2003 closed.
Outlook 98 and Outlook 2000 work, Outlook XP/2002 does not, but I have found
very little info on Outlook 2003 (including the INF: How to setup SQL Mail,
from Microsoft).

Thank you in advance,
Betty.

The problem I have it appears that mail gets stuck in the Outbox while
Outlook is closed. When I leave it open (Outlook) it does not appear to be a
problem.

I cannot leave Outlook open and a Server Terminal open (in a locked
workstation state) as it is againist corporation policy.

The spooling in Outlook was changed in 2002 and I'd suspect
it's the same in 2003. Use Outlook 2000. If that's not
doable or if you are getting sick of Outlook and MAPI issues
like these, you can use an alternative to SQL Mail. You can
use just plain old SMTP for mail. Less headache and easier
to maintain. You can download an extended stored procedure
that will do SMTP mail and get more information from:
http://www.sqldev.net/xp/xpsmtp.htm
You can also find some more information on this at:

All,

Thank you for your replies, Yih-Yoon and Sue. I will consider the options
available (Outlook 2000/98 or SMTP Mail).

Thank you once again for your assistance,
Betty/
