Better email error information
When using the email lib, just knowing that it fails isn't ideal. It would be much better if there was some more information about why the email actually failed, eg bad password, etc...

Either -1, -2, -3 etc. for error codes or GetLastError() function.

Isn't that a security/privacy risk? I could try a username with any password just to probe and see if the username existed.DoubleDutch wrote:eg bad password, etc...

No. The same thing could be done with a telnet client - You get a message back saying bad username/password. To see what I mean just open telnet with the port of a mail client then type in the commands documented in the RFC docs.
