New Post: Returning MAPI_E_UNCONFIGURED when the user cancels

cainrandom — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 21:11:34 GMT

In Provider.cpp, you return MAPI_E_UNCONFIGURED when the user cancels the PST path selection dialog. This appears to confuse Outlook and causes several more dialogs to appear. Returning MAPI_E_USER_CANCEL instead appears to fix the problem.

Also, the return value from SetOfflineStoreProps, the function that displays the open dialog, isn't checked before calling lpProfSect->GetProps on the line below. I'm not sure whether that's intentional.

Date Published: 10/13/2008
Source Language: C++
Supported Development Platform: Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Download Size: 174 KB (compressed) / 659 KB (expanded)

This download includes the following code samples:

Sample Address Book Provider
This code sample implements a basic address book provider that you can use as a starting point for further customization. It implements the required features of an address book provider, as well as more advanced features such as name resolution.

The Outlook 2007 Auxiliary Reference documents a similar sample address book provider for Visual Studio 2005. For more information about that sample address book provider, see About the Sample Address Book Provider.

Sample Message Store Provider
This code sample uses the PST provider as the back end for storing data. This wrapped PST store provider is intended to be used in conjuction with the Replication API. Most of the functions in this sample pass their arguments directly to the underlying PST provider.

The Outlook 2007 Auxiliary Reference documents a similar sample message store provider for Visual Studio 2005. For more information about that sample wrapped PST store provider, see About the Sample Wrapped PST Store Provider. For more information about the Replication API, see Replication API.

Sample Transport Provider
This code sample implements a shared network file system transport provider. A transport provider is a DLL that acts as an intermediary between the MAPI subsystem and one or more underlying messaging systems. You can use the code in this sample as a starting point for building a more robust transport provider.

The Outlook 2007 Auxiliary Reference documents a similar sample transport provider for Visual Studio 2005. For more information about that sample transport provider, see About the Sample Transport Provider.

New Post: Outlook 2010 recipient mouse over crash

nicklawton — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 02:00:02 GMT

Hi Stephen,

I'm involved in a MAPI project using the wrapped PST sample as the basis of the approach. We have begun testing with the technical preview of Outlook 2010, and noticed a crash when mousing over recipients as Outlook shows its new info tooltip. I downloaded the latest of the sample from this site to see if it had the same problem, and discovered that it does indeed. I have raised an issue in the tracker (#3790), with some additional information.

Thank you very much for your support on all things MAPI, and the sharing of your vast and detailed knowledge.

Nick.

Created Issue: Outlook 2010 recipient mouse over crash

nicklawton — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 01:51:05 GMT

In the Outlook 2010 Technical Preview, with the wrapped PST sample as the default message store for the profile, when you mouse over a recipient of an email, the new/updated recipient information panel is displayed, and then outlook crashes.

It appears from a little bit of investigation and supposition that outlook is attempting to open the new special folder called "Suggested Contacts", presumably from the default message store, to search for the recipient, and load any information it can find about them into the info panel. The crash seems to occur in the PST (MSPST32.dll), I think in an OpenEntry call on the "Suggested Contacts" folder via the IMSLogon interface. Incidentally, I also think that the "Suggested Contacts" folder has had an OpenEntry call succeed at an earlier time, though not sure if it was the IMSLogon OpenEntry; it could have been IMsgStore.

2. Set up a rule to move all incoming messages to a folder other than Inbox
3. "Receive" a message with MrXP (steps under "To use the Transport Provider Sample to receive a message in Outlook 2007")

Actual Results:

Commented Issue: Rules Don't Fire For Messages Delivered Via MrXP to a PST

sgriffin — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:49:14 GMT

This is a bug in Outlook 2007. Bug will be fixed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/961752 when published. The bug fix allows us to pass ITEMPROC_FORCE | NON_EMS_XP_SAVE to force the PST to run rules on this message. So we need to start passing those flags in preparation for the fix.
