- Sample Simple MAPI Client
-
-
- The Simple.Cli sample application illustrates using Simple MAPI functions.
-
- The sample is a very simple mail client. Using it is intuitive and
- straightforward.
-
- To run this application, you have to have MAPI run-time binaries installed on
- your system. For installation instructions, see the readme.wri in the
- mstools\mapi\ directory.
-
- When writing simple MAPI applications, the addresses of all of the simple
- MAPI functions has to be obtained explicitly (using GetProcAddress), as
- opposed to linking to the import library for MAPI.DLL.
-
- If sending/receiving mail is not the primary function of your application, you
- can test presence of simple MAPI in a system without incurring high cost of
- trying to load a DLL. You can test the value of the MAPI variable. It is 1 if
- simple MAPI is installed. The variable is located in the [mail] section of
- win.ini on 16-bit Windows and Windows NT version 3.51 and earlier and under
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem in the
- registry on Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 and later.
-
- Known Problems
- --------------
-
- When you Reply All to a message that you sent to yourself, your name will
- appear twice in the To well. This is caused by the fact that Simple MAPI
- does not expose either search key or a way to compare entry IDs, so there is
- no safe way to remove duplicates from the recipient list.
