Dear Richard and Akshat thank you for your support.
Still cannot get this email issue running, what ever I change I get the same error:
Error:  OLE Unable to create object.

I don't need to use the samples from Marc VdB's test program I  just want to be able to send emails direct from within dbase plus, is there no easy way to do this?
Thanks

I got VDBMail working after quite a bit of experimentation:
THis is what works on my system:
        vdbPath =  .... // path to mv_mail.cc on your system
        success = email.register(vdbPath, true)
        email.setport(587)
        email.setSSL(false)
        email.setUser(my_name) // leave off the @company-group.com
Good luck
