[RESOLVED] Sending emails in Win7 gives me error 48389

Hi,

in my vb6 application I'm using mapi for sending email to from my client to other recipients.
Now my client has on his computer Windows 7 and sending email doesn't work anymore. He has also Outlook 2007.
On his computer this line:
MAPIMessages1.ResolveName
gives me the error 48389. But no description, what it means.

Sending email works ok on my computer, where I have Windows XP and Outlook 2007.

So, how can I resolve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Does this help?

No, it didn't help me much, because my project works on the same way as yours. In line MAPIMessages1.ResolveName i still get the error 48389.

Maybe I should rephrase myself:
How to program my vb6 project, so it would work with any deafult email client everywhere (no matter what Windows and email clients users have)?

Can someone help me please?

If you don't want to use the programs like Outlook,etc... then, you can try using the vbsendmail or CDO for sending mails.... :wave:

Is there a chance, that I could keep my MAPI for sending emails with attachments in Windows 7?

This MAPIMessages1.ResolveName problem really bugs me :mad:

I've got it!

somehow, if I'm sending email with mapi from Outlook to someones email address, his email address loses his E-mail type. If I click into Sent items, search my email, sent from my vb6 application, and make a right click on recipients email address and choose Outlook Properties, I would see his E-mail type like the one in the left picture. And this was wrong!

Here is the example from my solution:

Code:

---

If MAPISession1.SessionID <> 0 Then
  MAPISession1.SignOff
End If
MAPISession1.SignOn
MAPIMessages1.SessionID = MAPISession1.SessionID
MAPIMessages1.Compose

MAPIMessages1.RecipAddress = "smtp: MyEmail@test.com"
MAPIMessages1.RecipDisplayName = "smtp: MyEmail@test.com"
MAPIMessages1.AddressResolveUI = True

MAPIMessages1.MsgSubject = "My email with attachment"
MAPIMessages1.AttachmentPathName = Path & "\" & name
MAPIMessages1.MsgNoteText = "Hi there. " & Chr(10) _
    & "Here are some pgp files for you!"
MAPIMessages1.send False
If MAPISession1.SessionID <> 0 Then
  MAPISession1.SignOff
Else
  MsgBox "This email could not be send to recipient!"
End If

---

I have removed the line with MAPIMessages1.ResolveName and have added "smtp:" to MAPIMessages1.RecipAddress and have done the same with MAPIMessages1.RecipDisplayName. I have also added MAPIMessages1.AddressResolveUI = True

With this code I can send email with attachment without any error!
If I would now check Outlook properties, the email type would be now correct (see the right picture).

So this problem is solved. But now I have another problem (please see the new thread, because this thread is resolved).
Some of recipients emailed back to me, telling me, that email attachments (like file.pgp) are in wrong format or the files are not attached at all. Some of them have had attached this file: Winmail.Dat.

How could this be? Have I missed something??? I suspect Outlook for this weird behavior.
Can someone help me please?

Thank you :)

I have been facing the same issue on one of our legacy application - MAPIMessages1.Show (to display users list) gives me the error 48389. This error could happen everywhere as long as you use MAPI on windows 7.. at the time i'm writing this, there is not yet a service pack to fix the issue, but fortunately
There is a link to hotfix this issue http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980681

i have tested it and it works perfect - good luck
