-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft Exchange does not support running Simple Messaging Application
Programming Interface (MAPI) applications that were developed to run as a
service on Windows NT.

MORE INFORMATION
================

All MAPI applications require a profile to create a session on Microsoft
Exchange. Extended MAPI is suggested as a solution because the Application
Programming Interface (API) contains tools to create profiles and allow login
from a service.

For more information concerning the MAPI 1.0 interface, please refer to the Win32
SDK.
