Code:
  Sub sendmail()
'
    With CreateObject("CDO.message")
   
        With .Configuration.Fields
            .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
            .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp-mail.outlook.com"
            .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smptserverport") = 1
            .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
            .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = True
            .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 60
            .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "Fred@hotmail.co.uk"
            .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "FredPassword"
            .Update
        End With
        .To = "SomeoneElse@anotherdomain.co.uk"
        .From = "Fred@hotmail.co.uk"
        .Subject = "Test email"
        .TextBody = "Some text to go into the body of the email"
        .Send
    End With
End Sub

This code sends an email OK but I would like to know how (if it's possible) to automatically delete the email after sending.
Can anyone help.
I'm using Excel 2002 at the moment!
Thanks

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Does the mail item get saved as a garden-variety file to a garden-variety folder?

Not sure what you mean by this.. It's a regular internet email and by default a copy is saved to the 'Sent items' folder.

I don't know anything about CDO. In Outlook, you would set DeleteAfterSubmit true for the MailItem.

Yes, I can do it in Outlook using DeleteAfterSubmit = True, but this is the first time I need to do it using internet mail - hence the question.
Thanks for your input anyway.
Regards
