    <p>If I've queued up some email to be sent via the System.Net.Mail.SMTPClent, where can I find this mail? With the Windows SMTP Client, it's in the C:\inetpub\mailroot folder - is there a similar folder for the .NET client?</p> <p>EDIT: Here's an example. If I turn off the outgoing SMTP server on my XP computer and then run an application that sends a dozen emails, they get queued up somewhere, since the .NET SMTPClient.Send call succeeds. A few hours later, I start the local SMTP server, and the mail leaves in a sudden flurry. Where is it in the meantime? The same behavior happens on my Vista desktop, though I have no local SMTP server - I can duplicate the functionality by blocking port 25 on the firewall, and then mail queues up somewhere. Where?</p> <p>The reason for this question is that I want to re-enable the SMTP Service on a server I have, but I don't know what's been queued up in the meantime, and I want to make sure the queue is clean when I re-enable the service. That way, customers don't get really, really old queued emails all of the sudden.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: Clearly, I don't know what I'm talking about. When I do this on Vista:</p> <pre><code> Dim mm As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage("me@me.com", "you@you.com", "Testing", "this is a test") Dim s As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("localhost") s.DeliveryMethod = Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis s.Send(mm) </code></pre> <p>I get an exception because I don't have an IIS pickup folder. Changing it to "Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network" results in an immediate exception because I don't have an SMTP server running. I'll test this on server 2003, but I could have sworn that these both worked in the past. I'll do some more testing and modify the question if needed.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
