I have multiple applications that send mail using scripting (Call doc.Send) where doc is set to be a memo created in the current session’s database. There is some talk of our users losing their mail files (but keeping their IDs and clients). I am not sure if these methods will continue to work or if the user will receive errors since I do not know if the code is using the server to execute the send or the user’s client. Any insight anyone can share would be much appreciated. Since all of my users currently have mail files, I do not have the ability to test the scenario.
Subject: Users with IDs but no mail file - can app send mail still?
The doc.Send function does not require the user to have a mailfile. In your scenario, the documents are being mailed from the application db, so mail file is irrelevant.A functionality that would be lost is the “Forward” function, which always executes out of the user’s current mail file, regardless of the database it was initiated from.
