I would like to send a mailing to people who attended a conference that I was involved in organizing.  It seems I can't get the mail session started.

I have the following code in PowerBuilder.

mailsession                lms_1
mailrecipient            lmr_1
mailMessage            lmmsg
mailFileDescription        lmfd
mailReturnCode        mRet

lms_1 = CREATE mailsession
mRet = lms_1.mailLogon ()

The return code (mRet) is mailReturnFailure!

When I create the object the sessionid = 0.

The PowerBuilder version I have is 2021.

My OS is Windows 10 64bit.  It is up to date and I have Office 365 (Outlook) installed.

The ini file is updated with the addition of "UseSimpleMAPI=yes" to the [PB] section.

Can anyone tell me what I am missing to get the mail working.

You could also use OLE instead of mailmapi. Both 32 and 64 bits Office will work.

We recently faced a similar situation. The reason in our case was related to the exe being compiled at 32-bit while installed version of outlook on the same machine was a x64. What we did: we replaced that functionallity with a c# implementation of the same logic in a class. Then we used dll importer to use our c# class. And it worked fine. Another solution is to install office x86 when you need to use mapi with your 32bit applications.
