MailLogon

Logs on to the mail system. You need to call this function before any other mail function.

The mail system uses the MAPI standard interface, so you can use any mail system that supports this standard.

You should log on to the mail system when Plant SCADA starts, and log off only at shutdown. (The logon procedure can take a few seconds to complete.) You can only log on as one user at a time for each computer, so you can only read mail for this user name.
