Answer 1

If you have worked with VB2005 before then it's not a big deal. You can find a lot off free example coding around. What I can help you with right away is tell you what you are looking for.

You'll need SMTP , i suppose it's already available as a library in VB.
If you are planning to use a mailing list and use Outlook, then you can include the relevant component of Outlook into your VB solution.
The simplest way to go about this is:
1. Make a "form" to retrieve your address book from your Mail Client, i.e. manually synchronise in your VB p[rogram.
2. 2nd form to compose your message and a simple Simple "Send" button to send to all email-id's in the list which is stored separately (as Excel, Access or Text file). For this part you need to have some SMTP related coding.

Let me know if this isn't what you were looking for , I may be able to give you some sample code.

You can check the following link for information on using the different classes to send mail messages. To send emails you will need SMTP mail server installed on your machine, you should be aware of this!!!

its made really simple in it, u just have to import system.mail

then set the "from" and "to" address, if multiple separate "to" by ",".
set the right credentials (user name, password) for the authenticated "from" user. and thats done.
