MAPI for Not Yet Techies Update
This article updates the information at:
MAPI for Not Yet Techies
Microsoft's Messaging Application Program Interface / MAPI is a set of proprietary functions with a closed architecture design. It has not changed much since it was introduced in the late 1990s for use with Microsoft Mail.
There's been no need to develop it much further. It's used in Microsoft Exchange and Outlook but not supported by Internet protocols.
Developers can use MAPI's functions to program mail applications. The full function library is MAPI 1.0 or Extended MAPI. This allows complete control over the messaging system.
As of Exchange 2007 Beta 2, the Messaging API client libraries are not part of the product install. Microsoft will distribute them as a web download.
Simple MAPI is not installed by Exchange Server 2003 or later, but it is supported by Exchange 2003.
