The application establishes a session with the SendAs server, sets a message entry, creates a message, sets its body text, adds a recipient, sends the message and closes the session. The sequence of events is detailed in the following list:
Create a session
with the SendAs server using CMsvSession::OpenSyncL(MMsvSessionObserver
&) function.
Set the message
entry using the CMsvEntry::SetEntryL(TMsvId) function.
After setting
the entry, the application gets a selection containing the IDs of
all the context children, using the CMsvEntry::ChildrenL()const function.
The connection to the server is made using the default number of message slots available to a session, which is 4, (KSendAsDefaultMessageSlots).
The draft folder is emptied, before creating a new message.
Fetch the names
and UIDs for the filtered list of message types using the RSendAs::FilteredMessageTypesL() function to create a SendAs
message. Then the UID based on the message type is returned, and with
the entry set on the drafts folder a SendAs message is created by
calling the RSendAsMessage::CreateL(RSendAs &,TSendAsAccount) function.
Set a body text
for the message and specify the recipients. In this example, the body
text is set using an option, which is read from the user. Option given
to the user are '1' for 8-bit encoding, '2' for 16-bit encoding and
'0' or by default its unicode type of encoding. The encoded descriptor
is set as the message's body text using the RSendAsMessage::SetBodyTextL(const
CRichText &)function.
The recipients are added using the RSendAsMessage::AddRecipientL(const
TDesC &,TSendAsRecipientType) function. The recipient's
address is held in a descriptor. The alias is the displayed recipient
name.
The recipient type is one of the TSendAsRecipientType enumeration values, that is, one of the following:
ESendAsRecipientTo - The recipient goes in the 'To' field.
ESendAsRecipientCc - The recipient goes in the 'Cc' field
ESendAsRecipientBcc - The recipient goes in the 'Bcc' field
If the 'Cc' field is not supported, the recipient will instead be added to the 'To' field since these are functionally equivalent.
If the 'Bcc' field is not supported, this function will return KErrNotSupported.
The example also displays the names of the accounts present in the list.
To demonstrate this, 3 new accounts are appended
and they are displayed in a for-loop by calling CSendAsAccounts::AccountNames().MdcaPoint(i), where the MdcaPoint() function takes in the
integer value of the current iteration in the for-loop and indexes
into a descriptor array.
The example also demonstrates how
to refine the available message types of the connected session using
the RSendAs::FilterAgainstCapability() function.
The RSendAsMessage::SendMessage() function
is used asynchronously to send the message. Finally the RsendAs::Close() function is used to end the session with SendAs server.

The Symbian build process describes how to build an application.
The SendAs example builds an executable called SendAs2Example.exe in the standard location (\epoc32\release\winscw\ <build_variant> for CodeWarrior). After launching the
executable, depending on the emulator you are using, you may need
to task away from the app launcher/shell screen to view the console.
