Q: Basic MAPI

[Henrik Mårtensson]

Hi

I'm trying to run a basic MAPI initialisation, but I get stuck with the
dispatcher.

Below I have pasted the code I'm running. Is there something that you have
to do
to make the MAPI interface available to you? I'm not running this in a MS
Exchange
office environment.
