Graham,
I have tried to use MAPI in a similar way before. I was able to make it
work as a "scheduled job" when I ran it under SQL's Job Agent instead of a
Windows Scheduled Task.

The functionality of CDO and MAPI are not necessarily the same. Depending
on what you want to do CDO may be a reasonably alternative.
Best of luck,
