Dear Friends,

I am using outlook express as my email client,
Is it possible to store the emails that i send to another email id ?
for ex : If i send email to hello@hello.com, is it possible to store
the contents of that email in a database ?

Or is it possible to store the emails in database, that i receive from
any other email users ?

I sqlserver enterprise manager, i saw the option "SQL Mail".

If anyone having ideas, please share ur ideas.
Thanks in advance and for your patience.
Yours
Rajesh

Well,well, how's the weather down under?

Long ago a read a book which gently touched this issue. I'm going to answer only the first part of the question. There is a good and a bad part of the answer. First the good one: You can store data from another DBlike source in MSSQL including emails; the bad part is: you need to store the emails or simmilar data in a server like enviroment so outlook express is out of the game.

You can import any type of data from MS Exchange (Contacts, tasks, mails,...) because exchange also stores that data in its own database which has a capacity of some terrabytes. The merge of Exchange and MSSQL data is not easy but can be done.

Now for the "SQL mail" part: READ BOL!

G'day y'all
