You can set up and activate the MAPI mail service for a particular user in the following way:
From Supervisor mode, select Mail Services from the left hand list. This will show the available mail services in the right hand list.
Click the right mouse button on the MAPI Service and select Edit…. The MAPI Service property sheet is displayed. Select the Users tab.
Select the check box to the left of the user that you wish to configure and press the Settings… button. The mail service User Settings property sheet is displayed, showing the Credentials page.
Select the appropriate mail profile that you wish to load when OfficeTalk logs onto MAPI. The profiles listed in the drop down list are the same profiles listed in the Mail and Fax applet in Control Panel.
The Address page is only available in the User Settings property sheet if the associated user has been set up to use MAPI as their default mail service. Any OfficeTalk users sending mail to this user need to know the e-mail address to use. This may be any address that one of the MAPI services will take responsibility for. For example, if you have an Internet Mail MAPI service installed in the mail profile as specified in the Mail and Fax applet, then you could enter an Internet address into this field, however, you should prefix the address with 'SMTP:'. If you have a Microsoft Mailâ service installed in the mail profile then you may enter a Microsoft Mailâ address, for example, 'MS:Company/Post/User'.
The Settings page is only available in the User Settings property sheet if the associated user has been set up to use MAPI as their default Mail Service.
Any OfficeTalk users sending mail to this user need to know whether that user is using Microsoft Exchangeâ as their mail client in order that they can use MAPI forms for certain mail messages, such as meeting invitations, project task assignments and task assignments.
The Checking page lets you specify how often the associated user will poll MAPI, checking for new mail.
Checking the Check for mail for this service on this machine check box will enable the field below, allowing you to enter how often the user will check for new mail using the MAPI service.
