Here is code I used to send an email from Form 6.0 through Outlook 2000 on a PC. I don't know the answer to you rother questions.
PROCEDURE maily (p_to_address VARCHAR2, p_cc_address VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, p_subject VARCHAR2, p_message VARCHAR2) IS
     objOutlook OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
     objMail OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
     objArg OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
BEGIN          
     objOutlook := OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('Outlook.Application');
     objarg := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
     OLE2.ADD_ARG(objarg,0);
     objMail := OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(objOutlook,'CreateItem',objarg);
     OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(objarg);
     OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'To',p_to_address);
     OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'Cc',p_cc_address);
     OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'Subject',p_subject);
     OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'Body',p_message);
     OLE2.INVOKE(objmail,'Send');//Use display to display the email instead of sending it, or save to save in the outbox
     OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(objmail);
     OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(objOutlook);
END;
