I got VB6.0 and I need to know how to write a program that can send email. I know how to take the data from a text box, etc. put it into a string, but how do I actually send it as email? I have no clue here, so I need to know how to address, deal with an SMTP server, etc.

How do I send email in VB? 1

VB has no built-in feature for sending mail. But Microsoft has implemented COM for these situations. You can use any third-part ActiveX Code Component or Control for sending and receiving mail using any available protocol (POP3/SMTP/IMAP)
If you have Microsoft OutLook installed on your machine, you can use Automation to send and reveive mail. If not, there are a lot of availbale components you can use.
