FoxyPreviewer email configurations

FoxyPreviewer brings 4 ways for you to send emails:

1 – MAPI - Uses the WinAPI MapiSendMail to try to send the current report as an attachment.
This setting sends a standard message, with one or more attached files and a cover note. The cover note is a dialog box that allows the user to enter a list of recipients and an optional message and other sending options. It will open a dialog email sending message, waiting for a user interaction. The message will not be sent automatically. It’s up to the user to veryfy the information ofthe message and to click at the “Send” button. 
This function tries to establish a session using the messaging system's shared session. If no shared session exists, it will fail sending the message.
This works pretty well if you have your default account set using MS Outlook Express, MS Outlook or Windows Live Mail. Definitely, it’s the easiest way to send your messages, because this way, FoxyPreviewer will use the default Email configuration of the computer.

2 - MAPI Alternative – Uses the WinAPI MapiSendDocuments to try to send the current report as an attachment.
The MAPISendDocuments function sends a standard message with one or more attached files and a cover note. The cover note is a dialog box that allows the user to enter a list of recipients and an optional message and other sending options.
This function tries to establish a session using the messaging system's shared session. If no shared session exists, it will fail sending the message.
This works pretty well if you have your default account set using MS Outlook Express, MS Outlook or Windows Live Mail. Definitely, it’s the easiest way to send your messages, because this way, FoxyPreviewer will use the default Email configuration of the computer.
Although MS says that “The use of this function is discouraged. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions of Windows.”, it’s been working well in all OS’s, from WinNT to WinSeven

3 – Custom Procedure
You can use your own procedure to send the current report. use foxypreviewer property "cEmailPrg", and fill it with the name of the prg responsible for sending emails. This PRG receives as a parameter the file name of the file created that you will send as attachment. Have a look at the samples provided, the file mysendmail.prg shows how you would need to make your custom procedure.

4 – CDO
Uses the CDO2000 component included in windows 2000 and later. It allows you to send emails using a SMTP server. All settings must be accurate in order to make this work. For example, below is the configuration for a “Hotmail” or “Live” account to send emails. You may check also in Sergey Berezniker's blog for more information on how to send using MSN, YAHOO or GMAIL email messages using CDO: http://www.berezniker.com/category/topic/email

People always send messages in forums asking how they should make these configurations. In fact, they change from server to server, the best you can do is to check the Email server that you are using, and get the right configurations for SMTP Server, SMTP Port and SSL Connection.
Thanks to MK Sharma, from Foxite, I found this link, that brings some SMTP general information about several servers: http://mynokiamobile.blogspot.in/2008/01/smtp-pop3port-settings-for.html
And here is a list of servers with some common configurations for people who use Brazilian servers:
