Mail Manager
Mail Manager, by Classy Components, is a MAPI-compliant component that allows you to
easily integrate e-mail into your applications. When coupled with QBF Builder (see below) or
with a compliant result set, it will allow you to send an e-mail to a queried result set of
recipients—for example, “Send a welcome e-mail to all new customers.” See Figure 16.19.

Mere Mortals Framework
The Codebook methodology has been popular among developers for several years. Kevin
McNeish has taken the complexity out of it and created an application framework that, as its
name suggests, “mere mortals” can use. The Mere Mortals Framework, from Oak Leaf
Enterprises, is a robust tool for rapidly developing flexible and adaptable applications. It helps
you understand and use new technologies while providing a clear migration path that protects
your investment in existing applications. See Figure 16.20.
With Mere Mortals you can create applications that anticipate changes in the user’s
requirements and the software industry. The Framework, along with extensive documentation,
guides and educates you throughout the development process of creating true three-tier, clientserver
applications that are easily adapted to run over the Internet. Mere Mortals also takes
advantage of the Visual FoxPro Component Gallery by integrating and enhancing the
Foundation Classes.
