Sending email: FromAddress remains empty in Outlook

rbuser

Hi,
I am using ReportBuilder Enterprise Edition version 10.09 on Vista SP2
and I Outlook as a default email Client to send emails with pdf attachments.

I use next code in Delphi 2007:

ppReport1.EmailSettings.PreviewInEmailClient := True;
ppReport1.EmailSettings.Subject := 'Subject xxx';
ppReport1.EmailSettings.Recipients.Text := 'customer@comany.nl';
ppReport1.EmailSettings.FromAddress := 'info@mycompany.com';
ppReport1.EmailSettings.Body.Text := 'This is an example';
ppReport1.EmailSettings.Enabled := True;

TppSMTPPlugIn.RegisterClass(TppSMTPMapi);
ppReport1.EmailSettings.FileName := 'C:\Temp\MyReport.PDF';
ppReport1.EmailSettings.Enabled := True;
ppReport1.EmailSettings.ShowEmailDialog := False;
ppReport1.EmailSettings.PreviewInEmailClient := True;
ppReport1.EmailSettings.ReportFormat := 'PDF';
ppReport1.SendMail;


This all works fine.
The email is sent by Outlook, but the "FromAddress" remains empty.
If I enter "from." in Outlook manually, it works fine.

Is there any known issue about this subject?

Thanks,
Ruud Schneiders

Hi Ruud,

Simple MAPI does not support the FromAddress or FromName properties. These
values are set in the Outlook profile the email is being sent from. If you
would like to define these values, I suggest using a direct email plugin
such as Indy or Synapse.
