Mapi not seeing some profiles - why?

I have a VB6 application running on a number of computers at a school.
These all have Microsoft Office (and also Outlook) installed. They are
using an Exchange server.

This app uses the msmapi32.ocx to send mail.

On MOST of the computers, this works.

But on a few of these computers, where it was working for a long time, it
now gives an invalid session ID.

So I turned on the LogonUI and learned something very interesting.

When the app wants to send mail, I set the Mapi username to the NT logged-in
user name. Then, when mapi tries to log on, it pops up a message that the
profile selected is invalid, please select a profile.

THEN, another message pops up that says there are NO profiles defined.

But when I look in the control panel, there IS one profile defined. This is
the one the user uses for their mail.

On some of these computers, I've created a second profile, and the
application sees that profile. Opening the profiles in the control panel, I
don't notice anything different between them (other than the name).

How could it be that MAPI does not see some profiles, but does see others?
Is there some setting or something that I'm missing?

Thanks for any ideas!

Does the Outlook API supersede MAPI? If I implement a SPAM filter using MAPI to automatically delete messages from the message store, will other clients like Eudora benefit?

I have an ASP application that logs into Exchange server to send email. The code looks like this: Set objSession = CreateObject("MAPI.Session") objSession.Logon "profileName" strMsg = ".." Set objMessage = objSession.Outbox.Messages.Add objMessage.Subject = "Customer Comment" objMessage.Text = strMsg

I am trying to create a contact using CDO 1.21. I was wondering if anyone had any sample code of how they may have done this. I am having trouble findinf documentation on how this is done.

Hi I am using CDO 1.21 from C# in order to iterate through the entries in a users outlook address book (as OOM was too slow).

It seems that the ASP.NET Microsoft team didn't think about this!! The profilemanager class has the following methods: - DeleteInactiveProfiles. Enables you to delete all profiles older than a specified date. - DeleteProfile. Enables you to delete a profile associated with a specified username. - DeleteProfiles. Enables you to delete a set of profiles. - FindInactiveProfilesByUserName. Returns a collection of ProfileInfo

Hi, All: I am tasked with the following. I need to write a service to monitor an Exchange mailbox and take action when an email is received, put it in a db, etc. I do not need to send emails through MAPI, only monitor a folder in exchange. Can I use .NET objects to do this or do I absolutely need a 3rd party add-in such as Outlook Redemption. This has to go on an enterprise production server, so the server group will fight me hard...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
