DropDirectory CoClass

Topic Last Modified: 2006-06-13

Defines an object used to access a file system that contains messages, such as the SMTP service drop directory, on a Microsoft® Windows® server operating systems server.

Because DropDirectory is used only for accessing messages on a file system, it is not useful in CDO for Exchange 2000 Server (CDOEX) where messages are saved in the mailbox stores.
