DLL Filename:mapi.dll

DLL Description: The company owners of mapi.dll have attached the following description for the file, an Extended MAPI 1.0 for Windows 3.
The file is an acronym for Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI). MAPI is a Microsoft Windows program interface that allows you to send e-mail from within a Windows application and attach the document which you are working on to the e-mail note.
Applications that take advantage of MAPI include Word processors, spreadsheets, and graphics applications are some of the appications which make use of the mapi.dll.
Reqest of these application sends a reqest through mapi.dll.
The file mapi.dll is a standardized set of C functions placed into a code library known as a Dynamic Link Library (DLL). Desgined by Microsoft, third party vendors now support these functions.
Mapi.dll is also available to Visual Basic application writers through a Basic-to-C translation layer; the mapi.dll file uses 520.128 bytes of physical memory.
There two distinct sets of functions defined for the complete MAPI library, one, is a group of twelve functions known as the “simple” MAPI subset and the other, functions beyond the basic twelve calls, known as the “extended” MAPI calls.
The mapi.dll lets a user have complete control over the messaging system on the client computer, creation and management of messages, management of the client mailbox, service providers and the likes.
The mapi.dll allows Windows application developers to take advantage of the Windows messaging subsystem, supported by default with Microsoft Mail or Microsoft Exchange.
The file mapi.dll, by the MAPI interface allows any Windows messaging application to be "mail-enabled", mapi.dll as MAPI standardizes the way messages or messaging are handled by mail-enabled applications as each (messaging) application does not have to include vendor-specific code for each target messaging system.
In out going e-mail messages, mapi.dll as a MAPI support allows users to attach documents from an application that created a document.
Without MAPI or mapi.dll, users must first save the document, remember what folder the document is in, switch to a third party message generator (like Eudora etc), then remember to manually attach the document to the outgoing message before they could send the document.
The file mapi.dll simplifies this process significantly. For one to e-mail, simply open a document from your mail-enabled application and you simply run the File:Send command. This automatically activates (a third party mail appication) and attaches a snapshot of the open document to the (third party) composition message.
