Selecting the MAPI Service and pressing the Settings… button will display the MAPI User dialog box showing the Credentials page.
Specify the MAPI Profile that you wish to load when the MAPI Service is started. Dropping down the drop list will show a list of available profiles set up on the current machine. The same list of MAPI profiles is available in the Mail and Fax applet in Control Panel.
Note: If you are using Windows for Workgroups 3.x then you should enter your Microsoft Mail login name into the Login Profile field. You should also specify your Microsoft Mail password in the password field.
The Address page is applicable to you only if you have specified the MAPI Mail service as your default mail service. The Address page lets you specify an address by which other users may mail you over the MAPI messaging transport. You may specify any address which may be recognised by one of the mail services contained in the selected MAPI profile.
The Settings page in the MAPI User dialog box is applicable to you only if you have specified the MAPI Mail service as your default mail service. This page lets you specify whether or not you plan to receive your mail using Microsoft Exchange in preference to the OfficeTalk mail client. If you specify this to be the case, by selecting the Using Microsoft Exchange radio button, then, when other users invite you to meetings or assign you tasks, you will receive the appropriate MAPI form into your Microsoft Exchange incoming mail folder.
The Checking page in the MAPI User dialog box lets you specify how frequently to automatically check for new mail using the MAPI service. If you wish OfficeTalk to automatically check for new mail using the MAPI Mail service then, ensure that the Check for mail for this service on this machine check box is checked and specify the number of minutes between checks.
