Hi

Can anyone suggest how we can interface Outlook Express with java in
order to send email?

I want to add 'Email Friend' link in my project, on clicking on this
link Outlook Express should open with a specified file attached.

I searched on net also, but I am getting only JOC everywhere which is
not freeware.

Please suggest me on the same that how it can be done?

Thanks
Param

Your problem hasn't got much to do with Java... But you can start Outlook
Express by using...

msimn.exe /mailurl:email@address

So you only have to use the Runtime System to start a new process. Bingo.
But of course, this will only work on Windows machines with installed OE...

Java 6.0 is the best place to look. Take a look at:
http://www.devx.com/Java/Article/30722/1954?pf=true

In particular JDIC provides access to the default email client. This
makes it possible to write cross-platform code to send emails rather
than hard-coding OE.

Why limit yourself to one email client? Especially one that has been
officially end-of-lifed by its creator, Microsoft.

Instead, I would recommend that you use a Java-based email library, such as
JavaMail (http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/downloads/index.html) or
Apache's Commons Net library (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net/) to
build the ability to send email directly into your application.
