[DUG] SimpleMAPI

Fri Apr 16 12:38:24 NZST 2010

It just uses the Outlook object model (I think) so you use in
conjunction with Outlook to do certain tasks, it has some low level
Extended MAPI code to do certain tasks.  You will have to get the
documentation from it to see what properties,methods are expoised.

You could just get the MAPI Header .pas files and do any low level stuff
yourself, I'm glad to help thorough this group and if Dmitry is around
he is bound to help.

Basically I would just check the system to see if Outlook is default,
then if it is certain tasks of creating a message (with attachments)
need to be done at the ExtendedMAPI level.

You can buy it separately.

Does it not work unless you are using one of their products to access
Outlook?
