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

Outlook 2010 MAPI Reference Updated

The Outlook 2010 MAPI Reference has been updated. I don’t have a list of everything that changed, so I’ll highlight one addition that’s pretty cool: the property definition stream . Long time readers might remember I mentioned this property before – it’s

Enter the 64 Bit MAPI Dragon

MFCMAPI and Old Versions of Visual Studio

Ever since I went to the new Vista style icon for MFCMAPI, it’s not been possible to compile in Visual Studio 6 . I’ve spent some time looking at this, and it appears the only clean way to get VS 6 working again is to remove compression from the icon,

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

So Long Mapi Editor…And Thanks For All The Fish

I’ve touched on the history of MFCMAPI before . The rebranding of MFCMAPI as MAPI Editor and posting it on the Microsoft Download site back in 2006 served a purpose, one for which at the time there were few alternatives. However, since then, I have taken

May 2009 Release of MFCMAPI

The May 2009 Release (build 6.0.0.1013) is live: http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com . The coolest new feature has to be the addition of Smart View parsing to the Hex Editor. I actually had the idea to do this the morning I published the March 2009 release, but

UST and Long File Names

I think this will be the last article to come from James’ post on debugging MAPI (previous posts here , here , and here ). This last one bit me when I was trying to gather a UST trace from a customer. Here’s the deal: The image file name associated with

UST and 64 Bit Machines

Digging more into lessons learned from James’ blog on analyzing memory usage (my first two articles are here and here ). Today we take a side trip into 64 vs. 32 bit. While we were working on this issue, I decided to get some UST enabled dumps of MFCMAPI

Crash Running MFCMAPI Overnight

So – one of my teammates tells me that if he leaves MFCMAPI running overnight, it has usually crashed by the time he comes in the next morning. We got a few dumps, but they were inconclusive since the stacks were completely different every time. Since
