I have been able to send two turns out in my first game without any problem. But I have started a second when I make my move and hit Exit and send the game exits but it will not send the file.
Can anyone help. Ive tried this loads of times all the email addresses etc are correct and there is a file in save email and send folder but its an outlook Express mail message file.

The game needs to be installed in the default folder or the email function does not work.
If you want to use your own folder then you must send the turn as you would sedna tuen from other games - attach the file to your email.

Try this:
Drag the file \Korsun Pocket\AutoEmailer\msmapi32.ocx on top of \Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe and drop. You should get a message that registration was successful.
Now see if pain persists with the automailer.

Guys,
I dont think either of these options are the answer because my first Pbem works fine. I cant send the turn as an attachment because it save the turn as a Outlook email file:(

Can you please be more specific.. whats happens when you hit Exit and Send. Does it bring a new email message up with the other players address and the file attached to it? I assume the answer is no?
Do you get any error message.
Does the game create the PBEM file in your Korsun Pocket/SaveEmail/Send folder?

if it's saving as a .eml file it means the PBEM helper is not kicking in to compress the file and invoke the email client.
Why wouldn't it do that I wonder. What is the name of your new PBEM game file?
E-mailing a turn file

Is the problem that only one game can be active at a time? For example when you start game one you give the player names and default e-mail addresses.
However if you start a new game against a different opponent can the program keep the different addresses in its memory or are the first set of details overwritten?
This didn't really arise much in playtesting because i played the same opponent but it may be an issue now that the game has been released an players will have multiple games going on at the same time.

Now it's my turn. Except the one who does not work with U2, I was playing 2 other pbem (one russian and one german). It's now the 3th time I try to start a new pbem has the russian. When I push the exit & send button, NOTHING happen. I go for the save file to send it manually and it is no where to be fond. Can't find it! That bad...

Is the file in the SaveEmail\Send folder?
Do you currently have any problems with any other PBEM games?

No, the file was nowhere. All the problem I saw are always in the first 1 or 2 turns. If you pass that step it will work fine.
Yesterday I earased the game from my computer and I reinstall it. Then I was able to start and send my new first turn. Why? I don't have a clue !?!?! All that are very strange for me because nothing happen on my computer since the first install. And yes, I always use the default folder (btw,could you tell me what is the point to change the space of the default folder???). For sure they are something

there.
