Announcing EWSEditor 1.5!

Matt’s very excited about the release of EWSEditor . This tool does for EWS what MFCMAPI does for MAPI. With this tool, Matt does what I did with MFCMAPI and what I recommend to anyone trying to learn a new API: the best way to learn an API is to write

Inside the PST

As Paul Thurrott notes, we just announced that we’re documenting the PST file structure . I haven’t decided yet if I’ll be writing a standalone parser/viewer/validator, but I’m sure I’ll be adding some interesting stuff to MFCMAPI . I’ll let you know

Exchange 2010 and the MAPI Download

Bunches of people have contacted me asking if the MAPI download works with Exchange 2010. My usual response has been that I know it works, but you have to tweak the profile. I didn’t know the specific tweaks ‘cause I hadn’t looked in to it. Dave Vespa

Responding to Meetings with CDO

My colleague Edwin, writing for the Exchange Support Team Central Europe blog , posted an article on accepting meeting requests with CDO . The key takeaway from the post is this: This means that when calling the respond method on meeting updates / requests,

More Fun With Check Name

I just closed case where the customer was trying to create a profile but Check Name was constantly prompting for credentials and then failing. This wasn’t the reconfig issue I mentioned before – they couldn’t create the profile in the first place. Even

Auth and Check Names

When I posted the Referral Madness article, there was an intriguing comment that I didn’t get a chance to investigate until it came up in a case. The commenter noted that when we used RPC_C_AUTHN_GSS_NEGOTIATE as our authentication mechanism, we could

GCReconnect: Please Don’t Delete the Profile

I had some extra time today, so I put together updates I’ve been working on for the GCReconnect sample/tool which we use to demonstrate/test referrals . The key addition here is an oft requested switch, –k, which requests that we keep the profile that

Exchange MAPI and the Form Manager

Had a customer contact me recently asking why MAPIOpenFormMgr doesn’t work with the Exchange MAPI download . Actually, it wasn’t working in Exchange 2003 either. I’m not sure exactly when it last worked in Exchange’s implementation of MAPI. We might have

Accepting Appointments With CDO May Break Embedded Message Attachments

This is an issue that has only been reproduced so far with Exchange 2003 , but I wanted to document it here in case anyone else is running in to it. Suppose you have a CDO 1.21 based application which uses GetAssociatedAppointment to accept meeting requests.

The Fifth MAPI Multithreading Rule

We had an issue recently where DDE broadcasts were being blocked on a system. The customer noticed that the problem happened after they called MAPIInitialize on their worker thread. Our investigation gives us a chance to add a 5th rule to the MAPI Multithreading

MAPI Named Properties

Jason Nelson has an interesting article up on the EHLO blog discussing MAPI named properties in Exchange. Specifically, he covers the history and reasons behind x-headers, how they’ve been handled in the past, and how we’ll be handling them in an upcoming

MAPI and .Net

Working with a customer the other day, I went looking for my blog post discussing the fact that MAPI is not supported with .Net. Turns out, while I’ve mentioned it several times, I’ve never devoted a topic to it. So here goes. Here are the articles which

CDO and the Euro

We had a customer who used CDO to create appointments and send meeting requests. Since they were operating in Europe, it wasn’t unusual for these items to have the E uro symbol (€) in the body of a meeting. When they would send the appointment, if the

Local Referrals

Time for another round on referrals . When last we left off, we were able to get the MAPI download to request and receive referrals from Exchange 2007, but the settings didn’t work if MAPI was running locally on the Exchange 2007 server. Let’s take a
