Dear friends,

Consider I need to trap alert-emails send by Expert advisor to the specified e-mail recipient, for further process. 

In order to do this, I developed a windows application (in visual studio) which is connected to Microsoft Outlook and traps e-mails before they are sent to recipient.

After that, I analyze the E-mail subject into its contents (e.g. Security name, alert text...) and then I store it into a database for further process as well.

However, the connection of the program with the Microsoft-Outlook has many-many problems. So I thought it will be better to store alert-messages to a plain-text file.

Searching for this solution, I found the Metastock Devepoler's Kit, but this kit is no longer available for sale.

So, I am looking forward for any suggestion that would solve my problem.

Thanks a lot in advance

Hello, 

My  application works as I briefly describe :

1.  Metastock-online receives real-time data from a  vendor.

2. Metastock Expert advisors, create alerts that send a specific e-mail for each security, via Microsoft outlook

3. At this point my application catch-up the e-mails, applies some process and stores them in a database.

In this context, the Metastock operates properly without any mistake. The problem exists in step 3.

Thereafter I can summarize as follows :

1.  The interface between my application (.net)  and the Microsoft outlook,  has many problems.

2. .Net environment has no interface with the Mozilla Thunderbird and therefore I cannot use it.

3. Metastock Developer's kit is starting to be obsolete (apparently no longer supported), while my application looks forward to the future.  So I am advised to avoid this kit from use.

Because of the above described problems, I thought the case with the text file.

Finally, I realize that there is no any acceptable solution for my problem, at this time.

Thank you for your attention

George

Ok, I understood.
