I read a post How to send a email in VC++?
I think the answer from Mark Ransom is simpler for a new learner like myself. He mentions that I need to have a paid version of VS in order to use ATL classes.
My question is whether any free methods can do the same things?
Moreover, how I know whether my VS professional version has the ATL classes?
Thanks
You can use directly Outlook MAPI interface. MAPI SDK is a separate download, it should work in any VS edition.
VS10 Professional edition includes ATL.
