Hi folks, i've seen that mapi is currently not implemented. Well, I'd like to sit down and code it, but I require several tools for that: a) mapi documentation (no, I didnt ask google yet ...) b) a small test application c) some shorts words about what I may do and what I may not do (i.e. may I call external unix processes ? whats about fork() ?) cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT services phone: +49 36207 519931 www: http://www.metux.de/ fax: +49 36207 519932 email: contact(a)metux.de cellphone: +49 174 7066481 --------------------------------------------------------------------- DSL-Zugang ab 0 Euro. -- statische IP -- DSL-Flatfrate -- Diese Mail wurde mit UUCP versandt. http://www.metux.de/uucp/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------

There is information in the platform sdk and on msdn.microsoft.com, which mainly documents the programming interface for mapi clients and servers. Should be enough to get you seriously started, though. Some investigation of your own will probably be necessary, too.
b) a small test application There are sample MAPI clients floating around microsoft.com in various places, as well. I'd recommend starting there. There are lots of other mapi clients on the web, too, but they're probably too complicated to be really useful during the development phase.
c) some shorts words about what I may do and what I may not do (i.e. may I call external unix processes ? whats about fork() ?)
I can't speak for wine policies, but we (ReactOS) really like it when the code is written in a very windows-like way - don't assume you're running on unix, and it'll make it easier for us to use your work too. -Vizzini

Okay, I'll have a look at it. BTW: are the necessary structures already defined somewhere or do I have to add them ? <snip>

hmm, I first wanted to start with a small stub which calls sendmail. before I'd start implementing the whole framework, I'd better start writing a cross-platform-mailapi, which could replace things like libclient+co and be reused in a write range of MUAs (i personally would start with hacking it into mutt :)). this framework could also be ported to ros, and the mapi would just be a adaptor between its clients and the crossplatform messaging api. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT services phone: +49 36207 519931 www: http://www.metux.de/ fax: +49 36207 519932 email: contact(a)metux.de cellphone: +49 174 7066481 --------------------------------------------------------------------- DSL-Zugang ab 0 Euro. -- statische IP -- DSL-Flatfrate -- Diese Mail wurde mit UUCP versandt. http://www.metux.de/uucp/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------

AFAIK, the network format isn't documented anywhere. Ethereal is trying to dissect some of it, but there are lots of "This may be wrong.", "DISSECT_UNKNOWN" and "Unknown string.". In case you want to look at the network side of it: The code is in packet-dcerpc-mapi.c Ciao Jörg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer(a)loplof.de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
