Mail::Outlook

DESCRIPTION

This module was written to overcome the problem of sending mail messages, where Microsoft (R) Outlook (R) is the only mail application available. However, since it's inception the module has expanded to handle a range of Outlook mail functionality.

Note that when sending messages, the module uses the named owner of the Outbox MAPI Folder in order to access the correct objects. Thus the From field of a new message is predetermined, and a read only property.

If using the 'Win32::OLE::Const' constants, only the following are currently supported:

olFolderInbox
olFolderOutbox
olFolderSentMail
olFolderDrafts
olFolderDeletedItems

DEPENDENCIES

The distribution requires the following modules:

Win32::OLE
Win32::OLE::Const

For testing purposes, the following modules are desireable, but not essential:

Test::Pod
Test::Pod::Coverage

DISCLAIMER

Please note that there are no tests for the display, send, move or delete methods, due to the potential havoc they could cause. You are advised to test this functionality safely should you need it. Any damage to your mail environment is your sole responsibility. The software herein is provided as is and the author accepts no liability as to its reliability.
