I've been attempting to use some of the MAPI functions in OpenInsight 3.6 with Groupwise and have had no luck. Is this possible to do and if so how would I proceed to get started.

David,

I have never used GroupWise before so I cannot tell you if your problem is with your code or configuration or with GroupWise itself. What I can tell you is that GroupWise needs to be compatable with what OI2MAPI.DLL needs in order to function. Is GroupWise a server or client or does it have both? Does it use or support Microsoft Exchange? If you can get me a bit more info on what GroupWise uses or supports, that would be a help.

FYI. In OI3.5 and later with a WORKS subscription, there is an example with source code of using OI to connect to MSExchange Server to use mail functionality.

Good luck…

Blaise

In the on-line help for MAPI_Logon there is a piece of example code which you should be able to cut and paste directly into a new subroutine and compile it. If it fails it will at least provide pointers as to why.

FWIW on one of my machines I can never get these routines to work without dropping to the debugger - suspect Exchange or Outlook may be the culprit.

Thanks for the reply in response to your questions:
1. I attempted to run the demo program from the MAPILogon help topic and got back the message OIMAPI03:Login Failure. 
2. Groupwise is both a Client and a Server
3. No I don't believe it uses Microsoft Exchange. I believe it provides much the same functionality and is an alternative. 
Groupwise as far as I know is fully compliant to the MAPI standard

so I don't see any reason why it should not work with OI's MAPI functions or are these functions limited to Microsoft's product. If this is so why bother having standards?
