Best method i can think of is making your own Email server application (Almost like a Http proxy) you'll need to use the standard SMTP Protocol as well as the Standard POP3 Protocol.

With this base you can now easilly implement all and more of your requirments..

As Gremmy says, you should create your own email server (sound like a lot of fun - and I am sure not the answer you hoped for)

The main problem is that you cannot control Microsoft Email Servers programatically as you will continually get a popup from the Email System telling you that someone is trying to control the system programatically !!!!

This problem stems from the days of the "Love" virus which hijacked peoples email systems and used them to send out millions of emails.

So if you are game to make your own Email Server, have a google search for "vbSendmail" which will probably solve 99% of what you will need. This is a SMTP Email System with full source code

Good Luck

You would not believe him but its true, THis is not the way out. This popups are there and trying to stop them will maybe even create more of them which tells you that someone programmwise trys to manipulate the server. But he has given you a really good adress so use it !

Hey Grammy This link isn't the FAQ

Last time I got around this problem, I used Outlook 2000 (which did not have the popups)

However, there is some fancy software which clicks the OK button automatically (not sure of the viability of it)

Express ClickYes 1.0.5 (updated on July 4, 2003)  
What is Express ClickYes

Express ClickYes is a tiny program that sits in the taskbar and clicks the Yes button on behalf of you, when Outlook's Security Guard opens prompt dialog saying that a program is trying to send an email with Outlook or access its address book. You can suspend/resume it by double-clicking its taskbar icon. Developers can automate its behavior by sending special messages.

ClickYes works with:

Outlook 2000 SP1+SR1 
Outlook 2000 SP2

Outlook 2003 Beta 2 
Though ClickYes is completely free of charge, you can give us a favor looking at Express Mail@Mate, our email notification tool.  Click here to find out more...

ClickYes doesn't work with Outlook Express. There is an appropriate option in the Outlook's Express settings. To turn the prompts off, click Options on the menu, switch to the Security tab, and clear the Warn me when other applications try to send mail as me checkbox. For additional information, look at the screenshot below.
