Starts a mail session.
Important To use MAIL.LOGON in Microsoft Excel for Windows, you must be using a mail client that supports the Messaging Applications Programming Interface (MAPI) or Vendor-Independent Messaging (VIM). The function is available for only Microsoft Excel for Windows.
Syntax
MAIL.LOGON(name_text, password_text, download_logical)
MAIL.LOGON?(name_text, password_text, download_logical)
Name_text is the username of the mail account or Microsoft Exchange profile name. If omitted, prompts for username.
Password_text is the password for the account. If omitted, prompts for password. Ignored when the dialog box form is used. This argument is ignored in Microsoft Exchange.
Download_logical specifies whether to download new mail. Use TRUE to download new mail; use FALSE or leave blank to skip downloading new mail.
Remarks
Returns FALSE if you cancel the dialog box or #VALUE! if you can't log on.
If you omit both name_text and password_text, Microsoft Excel tries to log on using an existing mail session.
