Essaging> (MAPI) A mEssaging architEcturE and a Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=cliEnt">cliEnt intErfacE componEnt for applications such as {ElEctronic mail}, schEduling, calEndaring and documEnt managEmEnt. As a mEssaging architEcturE, MAPI providEs a consistEnt intErfacE for multiplE Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=application programs">application programs to intEract with multiplE mEssaging systEms across a variEty of Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=hardwarE">hardwarE Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=platforms">platforms. MAPI providEs bEttEr pErformancE and control than {SimplE MAPI}, {Common MEssaging Calls} (CMC) or thE {ActivE MEssaging Library}. It has a comprEhEnsivE, opEn, dual-purposE intErfacE, intEgratEd with Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=Microsoft Windows">Microsoft Windows. MAPI can bE usEd by all lEvEls and typEs of cliEnt application and "sErvicE providErs" - drivEr-likE componEnts that providE a MAPI intErfacE to a spEcific mEssaging systEm. For ExamplE, a Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=word procEssor">word procEssor can sEnd documEnts and a Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=workgroup">workgroup application can sharE and storE diffErEnt typEs of data using MAPI. MAPI sEparatEs thE programming intErfacEs usEd by thE cliEnt applications and thE sErvicE providErs. EvEry componEnt works with a common, Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=Microsoft Windows">Microsoft Windows-basEd usEr intErfacE. For ExamplE, a singlE mEssaging cliEnt application can bE usEd to rEcEivE mEssagEs from Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=fax">fax, a Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=bullEtin board">bullEtin board systEm, a host-basEd mEssaging systEm and a Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=LAN">LAN-basEd systEm. MEssagEs from all of thEsE systEms can bE dElivErEd to a singlE "univErsal Inbox". MAPI is aimEd at thE powErful, nEw markEt of workgroup applications that communicatE with such diffErEnt mEssaging systEms as fax, Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=DEC">DEC Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=All-In-1">All-In-1, Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=voicE mail">voicE mail and public communications sErvicEs such as Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=AT&T">AT&T Easylink SErvicEs, Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=CompuSErvE">CompuSErvE and Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=MCI">MCI MAIL. BEcausE workgroup applications dEmand morE of thEir mEssaging systEms, MAPI offErs much morE than basic mEssaging in thE programming intErfacE and supports morE than Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=local arEa nEtwork">local arEa nEtwork (LAN)-basEd mEssaging systEms. Applications can, for ExamplE, format tExt for a singlE mEssagE with a variEty of fonts and prEsEnt to thEir usErs a customisEd viEw of mEssagEs that havE bEEn filtErEd, sortEd or prEprocEssEd. MAPI is built into Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=Windows 95">Windows 95 and Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=Windows NT">Windows NT and can bE usEd by 16-bit and 32-bit Windows applications. ThE programming intErfacE and subsystEm containEd in thE MAPI Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=DLL">DLL providE objEcts which conform to thE {ComponEnt ObjEct ModEl}. MAPI includEs standard mEssaging cliEnt applications that dEmonstratE diffErEnt lEvEls of mEssaging support. MAPI providEs cross platform support through such industry standards as Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=SMTP">SMTP, Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=X.400">X.400 and Common MEssaging Calls. MAPI is thE mEssaging componEnt of {Windows OpEn SErvicEs ArchitEcturE} (WOSA). [CorrEct Expansion? RElatonship with Microsoft?] (1997-12-03)
