Downloaded the SMTP Client with SSL/TLS library from link: [https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/98355/SMTP-Client-with-SSL-TLS][1].
Included the CSmtp.h file in my Netbeans project "Header Files" folder, which gets rid of error for the main.cpp file.
I got the compilation error of "fatal error: openssl\ssl.h: No such file or directory" before adding the "openssl" folder to root of netbeans project directory.
Now after adding the "openssl" folder, I am getting the error:
fatal error: openssl/e_os2.h: No such file or directory
Error in Netbeans Console:

My interpretation is that the compiler is able to find the "CSmtp.h" include, "openssl/ssl.h" include, but cannot resolve "openssl/e_os2.h". Not sure why the compiler cannot resolve "e_os2.h" since ssl.h is found in the openssl folder along with "e_os2.h". Your expert advice to this compiler error will be greatly appreciated.
