This chapter taught you how to use the MAPI ActiveX controls, Microsoft’s ActiveX wrapper for Simple MAPI. You saw how to send and receive messages, including file attachments; how to set and read recipient lists; and how to work with the address book.
Chapter 5 delves into the mysteries of CDO. If you like the ActiveX controls, you’ll love CDO. CDO wraps true MAPI, giving you the power to do industrial-strength messaging in your Visual Basic applications.
