Configuring the Message Object

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

To configure a Message object, you perform the following steps:

1. Create an instance of the Configuration COM class.
2. Populate the configuration settings in the IConfiguration.Fields collection.
3. Set the IMessage.Configuration property to the IConfiguration object reference on the Configuration object.

Dim Flds  As ADODB.Fields
Set Flds  = iConf.Fields

' Set the configuration
Flds(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
Flds(cdoSMTPServer)      = "mail.microsoft.com"

Flds.Update

Dim iMsg As New CDO.Message
Set iMsg.Configuration = iConf
