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

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

Detecting a Password Protected PST

If you’ve been working with PSTs for a while, you’re probably familiar with the properties PR_PST_PW_SZ_OLD and PR_PST_PW_SZ_NEW, given in mspst.h, which are used to access password protected PSTs and also to change the password. I had a customer recently
