MAPILogonEx

[MON205]

Hello,
Does MAPILogonEx succeed on a machine that don't have Outlook installed?

Thanks a lot

The Extended MAPI call to MAPILogonEx? If the stand-along server side
Extended MAPI is installed it will work without Outlook being installed.

I tried un-installing Outlook. And now, all MAPI calls fail, starting from
MAPIInitialize()!!!
Who installs the Extended MAPI? Is it Outlook? If yes, can't I use Simple
MAPI when Outlook is not installed.
Can you direct me to a web site or any resource to read more about this
issue.

Thanks

I installed the MAPI library from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...31-079A-43A9-BFF2-0A110307611E&displaylang=en

Now call to MAPIInitialize succeeded, but MAPILogonEx returned 0x80040111
Any ideas?

No idea.

For Extended MAPI information you really should be posting in
microsoft.public.win32.programmer.messaging, that's where the MAPI
programmers hang out.

The error is MAPI_E_LOGON_FAILED.
How exactly do you call MAPILogonEx? Do you have any profiles configured? Do
yo ucreate owen programmatically?

Ohhh.. I missed the flag "MAPI_LOGON_UI" where I passed NULL as the Profile
Name. Now, the Profiles dialog appear containing two profiles; "Outlook" and
"PstLoadTmp000". Are those profiles found because Outlook was on my machine
previously? Or I can always depend on these profiles when installing the
MAPICDO library?
Another problem that I found that the MAPICDO library is not a
redistributable package.

To be clear, my application reqirements are as the following:
-- The application have a database containing MSG files.
-- The user should be able to see any MSG.
-- The application opens the MSG with Outlook if Outlook installed.
-- If Outlook not installed, the application should convert the MSG to EML
(using redemption) and then open the EML with an EML viewer. (and here I'm
hanging)

No profiles are ever automatically created when you install the standalone
version of MAPI.
You either create a profile using Outlook (or the Mail Control Panel applet)
or you create it programmtically.
