MAPI and Outlook AnywhereWe have an application that is a MAPI client. One of our customers is
enquiring about using it in an "Outlook Anywhere" environment, which as I understand it, is a way for Outlook to connect to an Exchange server over HTTP. I believe Outlook itself uses MAPI to retrieve/set mail information, so can I assume that no changes would be needed to our application? Or is there some other API that I never heard of that replaces MAPI? Outlook Anywhere encapsulates MAPI RPC in HTTPS packets. It used to be
called RPC-over-HTTPS. Whether you need to configure anything depends on your version of Exchange. -- Show quoteHide quoteEd Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." ..

going back to 5.5. I was hoping to get some answers on this forum beyond "read the manual", but if that is the best you can do, so be it.
