| The most common user errors are: |
#1: The login and password are incorrect. Quite often
this is because the username/password are reversed.
#2: Cannot connect to the POP3 or SMTP server. You'll want
to make sure there are no firewalls blocking access to these
ports. Quite often, companies will configure a firewall
to block the email ports. There is nothing Chilkat Mail
can do about that.
#3: Indexing begins at 0, not 1. This is important to know
when you are using an index to retrieve an attachment from
and email, or an email from a bundle.
#4: The ChilkatMailMan.MailHost property hasn't been
set. This is the hostname of your POP3 server.
#5: The component is still locked. Don't forget to call
UnlockComponent and pass the unlock code. This only needs
to be called once at the beginning of an application. |

| I am having trouble using Outlook-related functions
from ASP. |
|
Before you try using Chilkat Mail Outlook-related functions
from ASP, make sure you are able to get this ASP script
working:
<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Create the Outlook.Application object.</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
If you can get this to work, then let us what you did...
<%
set obj = Server.CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set obj = Nothing
%>
<BR>DONE.<BR>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The Chilkat Mail component is creating the Outlook.Application
component in the same way, but internal to the comonent.
If you can get this to work in ASP, then the same solution
will probably also work for Chilkat Mail. Please let us
know what you did so we can add it to this FAQ to help
other users. Currently, Chilkat does not have a recommendation
for getting this to work in your environment, but as we
learn more, this FAQ will be updated.

| How can I send a fax using eFax? |
| Here are instructions from the eFax site: How
to Send Faxes from email |
| I'm getting this error message: Runtime error '438':
Object doesn't support this property or method |
Here is a fragment of code that would cause this problem:
Dim bundle As ChilkatEmailBundle
Set bundle = ChilkatMailMan1.CopyMail
Dim email As ChilkatEmail
Set email = bundle.GetEmail(0)
'The error occurs in the following statement:
ChilkatMailMan1.DeleteEmail (email)
The reason this happens is that DeleteEmail is a subroutine,
and not a function. If you remove the parentheses, you
won't get the error:
ChilkatMailMan1.DeleteEmail email
Here is another fragment of code that would cause the
'438' error:
Dim email As ChilkatEmail
Set email = New ChilkatEmail
email.AddMultipleTo "fausey@chilkatsoft.com"
email.From = "fausey@chilkatsoft.com"
email.Subject = "test"
email.Body = "test"
' The error occurs in the SendEmail statement below:
ChilkatMailMan1.SendEmail (email)
The reason this happens is that SendEmail is a function,
and not a subroutine. It returns a Long value indicating
the success. Change the code to this, and you won't get
the error:
Dim success As Long
success = ChilkatMailMan1.SendEmail (email)
