ppSMTPEasyMapi.pas and EasyMAPI v7

rbuser

Hi

Peter Wolters has just published EasyMAPI v7. A number of the modules have
been changed to VCL.uRwxxxxxx

Do I need to make any other action than simply change uRwMAPISession to
VCL.uRwMAPISession in ppSMTPEasyMapi.pas (source and Lib), such as rebuild
the packages ?

Regards

Hi Philip,

No, EasyMapi is not included in any of the ReportBuilder packages. You
can also add the "VCL" unit scope name to your project options to avoid
any errors.

Also, note that RB 14 includes a built-in Extended MAPI plugin that can
be used to send advanced MAPI email.

Hi

How do I enable the EasyMAPI functions and can I use this with the default
Preview email function to use a 64bit Outlook?

EasyMAPI allows a 32 bit application (ours) to send emails etc. via a 64bit
Outlook.

I am getting complaints from 64bit Outlook users that they can no longer
email reports generated in the Report Builder Preview screen.

Regards to all

Hi Philip,

The current EasyMAPI plugin does not give access to the MAPISession or
MAPIMessage objects to directly access any advanced features. I will
make these properties public for the next release so they can be
manipulated.

Easy MAPI works around the 32bit/64bit limitations (which is a Microsoft
issue) by installing a proxy server on the machine sending the email to
re-route the email via 64 bit code. I believe it would be necessary to
install this server on your customers' machines in order to take
advantage of this feature.

Hi Nico

Making the the MAPI features available would be very welcome as I am already
getting a customer a week with the 64 bit and they are not happy when I say
your email from the preview does not work with their Outlook.

We already install the proxy server so this is not an issue.

Best Wishes

Being that the EasyMapi plugin is completely separate from the rest of
the ReportBuilder product, it would be fairly easy to expose the Session
and Message properties yourself to temporarily solve the problem.

Of course an easier, permanent, universal solution would be to simply
build your app using a 64 bit compiler for your customers using a 64 bit
architecture.
