DropDirectory CoClass

Defines an object used to access a file system that contains messages, such as the SMTP service drop directory, on a Microsoft Windows 2000 Server.

Note Because DropDirectory is used only for accessing messages on a file system, it is not useful in CDO for Exchange where messages are saved in the information store.

Implemented Interfaces

Example

[Visual Basic]

Dim iDropDir as new CDO.DropDirectory 
Dim iMsgs as CDO.IMessages 
 
Set iMessages = iDropDir.GetMessages ' get from SMTP drop directory
Dim iMsg as CDO.Message

For Each iMessage in iMsgs 
  Debug.Print iMsg .From
  Debug.Print iMsg .To
  Debug.Print iMsg .Subject
  Debug.Pring iMsg .TextBody
Next iMessage
