Thank you so much for working on additional samples. These are critical features many of us have wanted for a long time. I was excited the other day when it was announced, immediately launched LC to "play" only to realize I didn't know enough, didn't have enough documentation and had no examples to work from.
Anything you can do to assist would be greatly helpful for all. My particular interest are SMTP and SFTP.
Regards,

The error message I get back is (56) Failure when receiving data from peer/returned from server. I’m just slogging through the tsNet Sample Sync Stack to speed things up since sending the email should be trivial compared to the data enclosed in the actual message. But, sometimes that’s how it goes:) Other than the Dictionary and this sample stack does anyone have a pointer to a simple example using this external with a hosted mail service?
