Hello Charles and and Luca, I'd like to echo Charles' sentiment. I'd also add that some of the documentation seems to be outright misleading if not technically incorrect. Then, there's all of the undocumented MAPI properties that Outlook *requires*, plus the "optional" MAPI stuff that Outlook *requires*, etc. One key issue is the difference between writing a general MAPI service provider versus writing a MAPI service provider for use by Outlook... Huge difference. All of the publicly available documentation is for general MAPI service providers, not Outlook MAPI service providers. InsideMAPI is a good start, but extremely outdated. I'll add that I've been a subscriber of this list for a long time, but am finally posting after seeing a nice bit of activity lately. I'm the lead developer of the the MAPI toolkit at SourceXtreme, Inc. We also have the start of a MAPI message store and MAPI transport provider built using our MAPI toolkit. We haven't been working on it as fervently the last few months, but would happily join efforts with this group. We have no problems with GPL, LGPL, or dual-licensing. We do prefer C++ over straight C, but are willing to work with those who prefer straight C. We also have a separate IMAP library we would be willing to release under the same licensing terms. A bit about my background: I have about 11 years Windows programming experience, mostly with C and C++ writing GUI apps, NT services, TCP/IP communication modules, and some device drivers (WinCE and some Windows and NT). I've done some work with Simple MAPI and spent about 6 months working with Enhanced MAPI. I have other experience not related to this project, but I'll leave that for another time. Is there any interest in help from myself or my company, SourceXtreme? If so, how can I help, or what would be the most helpful way my company could contribute to this project? > -- > Charles N Wyble > Homepage: http://www.thewybles.com/~charles > Blog: http://jackshck.livejournal.com > Developer/Consultant. 30.00 an hour is my fee.
