Summary

This chapter introduced you to CDO for Windows 2000. You learned that this is a different technology that does not supersede CDO version 1.21. You learned that CDO for Windows 2000 does not provide the folder-within-folder hierarchy available in MAPI-based technologies. Indeed, there isn’t even an Inbox—all email destined to a specific domain is written to a common directory, and it’s up to your program to sort out what is to be done with it. CDO for Windows 2000 is best suited to server-side email programming tasks.
