Hello,
I've been using the evaluation version of MailBee to receive mail using the POP3 and IMAP protocols, and it works great! The problem is - our Exchange server currently supports these protocols, but will only support MAPI once it's upgraded. Does your program support the MAPI protocol, and if so, where can I find documentation for it?
Thanks in advance!

MailBee.NET Objects only supports IMAP/POP3 for accessing mailboxes, MAPI is not supported.

Hello, on a related matter to the above post, we have been using your IMAP component against Exchange 2003 for the past 3 years and it has been great.
My company is now upgrading to Exchange 2010 and the infrastructure guys have asked whether we could switch from using IMAP to read emails from Exchange, to use MAPI instead - they consider it less of a security risk (even though the IMAP access is tied down to a couple of IP addresses - live & test) and MAPI might be faster too and offer more capabilities.
You answered above that MAPI is not supported - which seems very odd - can I ask why ?
Also, what about Exchange Web Services (EWS) - do you support that or is that easy enough to program against that a 3rd party component is not required ?
Thanks in advance.

Because MAPI is a proprietary MS protocol, completely different from open and widely supported SMTP, IMAP, POP3, and so on. Moreover, it has never been fully documented.

EWS is fully documented, we may support it in the future.
