MAPI

Dear CodeGurus,

I have a few queries regarding MAPI

1)Does Outlook Express support Extended Mapi?

2)An application I wrote in simple MAPI works for O.E when it is the default email client but I cannot get folder information using simple MAPI(for custom foldrs etc.).Can I??

3)An application I downloaded (written in Extended MAPI)does not consider the default client (which happens to be O.E) and accesses Microsoft Outlook directly.When MS Outlook is not installed it does not run.Is this because OE does not support Extended MAPI or is there a way to specify the client to use using Extended MAPI??

4)Does Microsoft Outlook need Microsoft Exchange server to be installed?

I will be gratefull if you could answere these queries as I have an urgent project in this regard.

Thanks,

Well, can't answer all of them, but I do know Outlook Express does NOT support MAPI, only simple MAPI... So, applications that make use of extended MAPI calls will not work with Outlook Express.
