I used COM MAPI to send emails and the email i sent was there in my
Sent folder, i tested this method for Outlook Express, MS Outlook and
Thunderbird and it worked well. But the problem is email was sent not
saved as Draft, and to save it as Draft i think some automation
support will be required.

There are some APIs like MAPILogon, MAPISaveMail, MAPISendMail but i
couldn't found a working example for MAPISaveMail. if MAPISaveMail
saves messages in specified folder then it might be used to support
above clients for my specific needs.

Look, it doesn't matter how badly you want to do this, it simply CAN'T BE
DONE with "any email client" as your subject indicates. Not every client
supports MAPI, and not every client supports Automation, and some don't
support either. You're banging your head against a wall here.

:(, i wish they come up with some standard interface for automation
while doing/providing optimization/features

Thanks for stopping me banging my head anymore BUT
Can you provide (link of) a working sample of MAPI via APIs, not
controls

Thank you all guys for this support
(i have stopped looking for automating any client :) )
