There are, at least, three programs that acts as MAPI clients in OpenChange code tree.
* mapitest: To test MAPI operations against a MAPI server like OpenChange or Exchange Server. * openchangeclient: it is a CLI standalone MAPI application [0] * mapiprofile: a CLI application to set up MAPI profiles. Likewise Mail application in Windows, it creates and manages MAPI profiles. > > I have been reading the documentation selectively, trying to pick out > what I need and what I can skip, and apparently making a hash out of > it. You can read libmapi C code to know how to build up your application and check what other programs do like utils/openchangeclient.c or utils/mapitest/modules/*.c. Using the latter, you have to know Exchange protocols but the documentation may be good enough. > > Is there an instruction set that addresses this limited use? Which > parts are needed in this case?

Don't hesitate to ask further if you have any doubt.
