NOTE: The procedures in this article only apply if you have installed Outlook with the Corporate or Workgroup option. With this option, you can use Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) services. To determine your installation type, click About Microsoft Outlook on the Help menu. If you have the Corporate or Workgroup installation, you see "Corporate or Workgroup".



SUMMARY
Microsoft does not supply a Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) service to allow Outlook in Corporate/Workgroup mode, to access e-mail on an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP4) Internet mail server. This article describes a third-party solution which will provide this functionality.
