SUMMARY
Application FFAPI and Gateway FFAPI are similar in that they allow you to send/receive messages from/to an MMFF (Microsoft Mail File Format) file. They differ in that Application FFAPI sends/receives messages as a single Microsoft Mail user while Gateway FFAPI sends/receives messages as a pseudo Microsoft Mail postoffice. This difference makes Application FFAPI resemble the MS-DOS client.

APPPUT.EXE (or the large-model version, LAPPPUT.EXE) allows you to "put" an MMF file message into the Microsoft Mail database, where it is treated the same as any other message. For example:

APPPUT -iname:password -dm -f2 xyz.txt

APPGET.EXE (or the large model version, LAPPGET.EXE) allows you to "get" a message from the Microsoft Mail database and put it into an MMFF file. For example:

APPGET -iname:password -dm -f2 xyz.txt

APPDIR.EXE (or the large model version, LAPPDIR.EXE) allows you to get a postoffice address list from the Mail system and place it in an output file. For example:

APPDIR -iname:password -dm -leNET/PO1 xyz.txt
