Hrm, strange. As far as I see this, there are two places in the code where mapi32.dll can be replaced with the SeaMonkey mozMapi32.dll: 1) On install, but only if these two conditions are met: 299 // If Mapi_backup_dll *and* the default var of 300 // HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Clients\Mail is set, then install 301 // mozMapi32.dll to the windows system dir as Mapi32.dll. 2) When setting SeaMonkey MailNews as default mail client and the Mapi32.dll file present is some old dll (as mentioned before) or another strange version of the DLL. Here I wonder a bit: The Mapi32.dll I have here on Windows XP has as version "1.0.2536.0" (5.1.2600.0 as product version) and as description "Extended MAPI 1.0 for Windows NT". You mentioned as version "4.0.835.1374", what description does the DLL have? I'm wondering if this is the original DLL from Windows XP or another (3rd party?) DLL? Do you happen to have Exchange or Groupwise installed?
