This can be done via MAPI. The SDK contains a sample called sendmail which
shows the basics of using MAPI, basically instead of placing your message in
Drafts and sending it, you can just save it to the Inbox folder.

Thanks a lot Peter. You pointed me in right direction and it's working.
Actually, I had seen that function 'SaveChanges' but in Pocket PC 5.0
documentation, it's mentioned that It's not supported and that misleaded me
but i just tried and it's working fine.

I am adding code snippest for reference to anybody .

After opening message store

ULONG lpcbEntryID;
        LPENTRYID lppEntryID;

        hr =
pStore->GetReceiveFolder(NULL,MAPI_UNICODE,&lpcbEntryID,&lppEntryID,NULL);
hr = pStore->OpenEntry(lpcbEntryID,
lppEntryID,
NULL,
MAPI_MODIFY,
NULL,
(IUnknown **)&pfldrDrafts);

Create message
set message propety
then
call

pmsg->SaveChanges(0);

Peter, I need one more help. How can I get reference of SMS message store ?
I am calling "pTable->QueryRows(1, 0, &psrs)" to get Outlook message store
parameter '1' is for outlook). Basically, if I can know what I have to pass
instead of '1' to get sms inbox reference then I think, I can do.

Thanks,
-Santosh

When you query the message stores table you'll get a row for each account.
You'll need to retrieve the name properties of these to determine what the
accounts are, e.g. ActiveSync, SMS etc. Call QueryRows again to retrieve the
next account until there are no further results.
