The November 2009 Release (build 6.0.0.1016) is live: http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com . The September 2009 release was downloaded over 18 thousand times, with nearly 1700 of them being the 64 bit build. This exceeded the July build by about 4000 downloads. Yay MFCMAPI! Mostly bug fixes this time around. Win 7 finally made me dig into why Close All Windows wasn’t working, and I did a bit of work to make MFCMAPI a better multimon client. Here's a change list - see the Issue Tracker on Codeplex for more

From time to time, I get asked to explain where CDO publishes Free Busy information in the Public Folder store, so I figured I’d put this article together. The basic process CDO uses for updating FB information is outlined in the More Information section of KB 278954 . We’re concerned with the part of the process summarized as “queued up to be sent to the site’s Free/Busy public folder.” The first thing CDO does is to open the Public Folder store and read a couple properties off of it, PR_FREE_BUSY_FOR_LOCAL_SITE_ENTRYID

If you are using InfoStores collection of CDO 1.2.1 for Outlook 2007 to access Public Folder store and not able to get reference to Public Folder store then here is the explanation of the design change in CDO 1.2.1 from SGriffin’s post@ Outlook 2007, Public Folders, MAPI and You . Basically, Outlook 2007's version of the Exchange provider, emsmdb32, doesn't automatically add the Public Folder store to the message store table of a new profile. Instead, it waits until a successful connection has been

If you are developing using Exchange Web Services Managed API then now you can download @ Microsoft Exchange Web Services (EWS) Managed API 1.0 The Microsoft Exchange Web Services (EWS) Managed API 1.0 provides a managed interface for developing client applications that use Exchange Web Services. The EWS Managed API simplifies the implementation of applications that communicate with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and later versions of Microsoft Exchange. Built on the Exchange

Not many people are aware of the feature, but MFCMAPI implements a MAPI Form Viewer . This means MFCMAPI can use MAPI to ask Outlook to display messages. You might have run into this if you ever double-click on a message in MFCMAPI. If you’re on a machine with Outlook installed, the message will open up like it does when you double-click it in Outlook. And if Outlook isn’t installed and you’re using Exchange’s MAPI, you get a scary dialog saying we couldn’t open the MAPI form manager . This is one

We can perform GetItem Exchange Web Service call to get Extended MAPI Properties refer my previous post How to get Extended MAPI Properties in the GetItem Exchange Web Service call? and can also perform FindItem based on the Extended MAPI Properties. In the sample code given below we would use CleanGlobalObjectId to perform FindItem for Calendar Items: NOTE: Following programming examples is for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied

Want to make working with Exchange Web Services (EWS) much easier to work with? There is a new API and new tool which can help. No matter which way you are doing or going to be doing EWS calls, you should be familiar with both the Exchange Web Services Managed API and EWSEditor. Exchange Web Services Managed API: The Exchange Web Services Managed API makes life much easier since it wraps a lot of calling code and logic which is needed to successfully execute EWS calls. No matter how you are doing

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 tools that use it. As you work with EWSEditor, you may notice a few things which are similar to MFCMAPI. This is no coincidence. EWS and MAPI, both designed primarily to interact with an Exchange server, share much of the same object hierarchy, which
