Sample code

VBScript sample: Send an e-mail

  Set objSmtp = CreateObject("AxMmToolkit.Smtp")          ' Create the SMTP Protocol object
  Set objMail = CreateObject("AxMmToolkit.EmailMessage")  ' Create the e-mail message object

  ' Open a connection to the SMTP server
  objSmtp.SetSecure
  objSmtp.Connect "smtp.gmail.com", "me@gmail.com", "password"
  If objSmtp.LastError <> 0 Then
    WScript.Echo "Error: " & objSmtp.GetErrorDescription(objSmtp.LastError)  
    WScript.Quit
  End If

  ' Compose an e-mail message
