I have a problem with MYOB and Microsoft SBS 2003, although i think more specifically it is microsoft exchange. I have a situation where a customer of mine wants to run MYOB on their server as a measure of accessing the files. They also however want to email directly from MYOB. The problem is that it will not email, and before you go there YES I have approached MYOB about this issue - they are fobbing it off to microsoft. The error is: "Cannot get the function address for "MAPISendMail" from "MAPI32.dll" please check your MAPI installation."

I had a problem like this a while back on Windows 200 terminal server. I seem to recall that I first had to set an e-mail client (outlook in this case) for the user that was currently logged into terminal server (or SBS in your case). Once I had the e-mail client set up and running (i.e. could send and receive e-mail), it started to work from within MYOB.

Now - I had to have the outlook client installed and configured on the server machine. I think that while SBS hosts the exchange server - it assumes that the e-mail clients are actually on the client machines - so you may have to install outlook or another e-mail client on the SBS machine to get it to work.

I "think" that MYOB uses the default e-mail client to send mail - so you could theoretically use something other that outlook - but you would need to test it.

Good luck.
