*** URGENT *** How to supress Simple MAPI UI?

Hello everybody. I have been asked to write an app which is capable of sending and receiving e-mail messages in the background, without giving any idea to the user. Ideally, it should place the outgoing messages in the Outbox. When the Outbox is flushed, it should send the messages in the Outbox without giving any visual feedback to the user.

I am using Outlook Express as my Simple MAPI client. However, I do have Outlook 98 installed on my machine too.

My program does send messages out using MAPISendMail, but the messages never stay in the Outbox. MAPI immediately connects to the ISP, and sends the messages out. While doing so, it displays a status dialog box, showing the progress of the operation.

If, instead of using my program, I use the MAPI Client sample program (the one that comes with MSDN), the program places the message in the outbox, and tells you so by displaying a dialog box... "When you send an e-mail message, it will be placed in your Outbox folder ready to be sent the next time you choose the 'Send and Receive' command"

However, this sample app shows the Outlook style UI, and not like Outlook Express.

Any ideas as to what's going on, and how can I achieve what I am trying to achieve? PLEASE TREAT THIS AS URGENT... I HAVE A DEMO COMING THURSDAY.

Thanks a lot,
Kamran Ansari
