If your thread uses the C run-time library (which is typical) you should not use CreateThread. Use beginthread/endthread instead to ensure proper initialization of the RTL.

Anyway, what is the return value to threadhandle? Is there an error reported?

Certainly, you've declared CMailManagerDlg::CheckIt() as a static member of that class, right?

1. You should have told us what error messages you got. Never never just say "It does not work" or "It is not working".

2. For MFC applications, you should use AfxBeginThread instead of CreateThread.

3. CheckIt needs to be either a static member function or a global function. This is because a non-static member function has an implicit parameter, which is the this pointer. Thus, it does not match the function prototype required by AfxBeginThread.

You might want to take a look at my article at CodeGuru, which demonstrates how to use AfxBeginThread.

There is no error i.e the biggest problem and CreateThread also
returns successful result.

If, as you say, there is no error then CreateThread is returning you a handle to the newly created thread. There are only two possibilities with this call:

1) It returns an error
2) It returns a handle to the new thread.

Now perhaps the thread isn't running as you expect but I'd just be speculation on it since you don't seem to want to provide many details about what the problem is.

Where does this stand? It's been about a month since you've told us anything, devayani.

No harm meant.

Thanx
