Messaging Application Programming Interface. Microsoft and other companies developed MAPI (pronounced "mappy") to enable Windows applications to access a variety of messaging systems, from Microsoft Mail to Novell's MHS. But MAPI works on a more everyday level, too. So-called mail-aware applications can exchange both mail and data with others on a network.

MAPI (Messaging Application Program Interface) is a Microsoft Windows program interface that enables you to send email from within a Windows application and attach the document you are working on to the email note.

The "Messaging API" regulates the communication between Windows applications and Microsoft Mail.

Programming interface by Microsoft for e-mail messaging. Designed so any Windows application can more easily use e-mail in Windows.

MAPI is a protocol that a mail client can use to talk to a mail server. The Microsoft Outlook series of mail clients use MAPI.

a Component Object Model (COM)-based API that supports message-related components such as message stores, address book, and message transport.

Messaging Applications Programming Interface. A proprietary interface to client mail servers.

popular interface which let's V3mail send email through programs like Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger, Eudora etc.

An application program that runs under Windows to access data from messaging application programs, like e-mail and fax.

Messaging Application Programming Interface. A messaging standard developed by Microsoft to allow for interaction between an application and various message service providers.

See messaging application programming interface.

Microsoft's Messaging application Program Interface: a mechanism for sending email directly from within applications such as word processors.

Is Microsoft's standard for the interface to e-mail.

( ail API) A programming interface from Microsoft that enables a client application to send to and receive mail from Exchange Server or a Microsoft Mail (MS Mail) messaging system. Microsoft applications such as Outlook, the Exchange client and Microsoft Schedule use MAPI.

Messaging Application Programming Interface. MAPI is a messaging architecture composed of a set of common application programming interfaces that enables multiple applications to interact with multiple messaging systems across a variety of hardware platforms.

Microsoft's Messaging Application Programming Interface. A message system used in several popular e-mail systems such as Microsoft Mail.

(Messaging Application Programming Interface) A Microsoft email management system that allows different email applications to work in harmony and distribute mail.

Messaging application program interface. An open and comprehensive messaging interface used by programmers to create messaging and workgroup applications - such as electronic mail, scheduling, calendaring, and document management.

MAPI (Messaging Application Programming Interface) is an application programming interface (API) designed by Microsoft. Any software that supports MAPI can communicate with any mailserver ( Kerio MailServer) and send and receive data via this interface regardless of their type and software provider.

Mail Application Program Interface. The Windows software standard that has become a popular e-mail interface (used by MS Exchange, GroupWise, and several other e-mail packages).

The Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) is a medium-independent messaging architecture that enables multiple applications to interact with multiple systems across a variety of hardware platforms. As a client interface component, MAPI is the complete set of functions and object-oriented interfaces that forms the foundation for the MAPI subsystem's client application and service provider interfaces.

Pronounced "map-e." An API developed by Microsoft and other computer vendors that provides Windows applications with an implementation-independent interface to various messaging systems such as Microsoft Mail, Novell's MHS, and IBM's PROFS. A subset of MAPPronounced “map-e.” An API developed by Microsoft and other computer vendors that provides Windows applications with an implementation-independent interface to various messaging systems such as Microsoft Mail, Novell's MHS, and IBM's PROFS. A subset of MAPI known as Simple MAPI lets developers easily create “mail-aware” applications capable of exchanging messages and data files with other network clients.

Messaging Application Programming Interface. A standard interface that Exchange and Microsoft Outlook components use to communicate with one another.

Microsoft's standard for the applications interface to e-mail. See also VIM.

Messaging Application Programming Interface. See the Message (email) interface topic.

An interface developed by Microsoft that provides messaging functions including addressing, sending, receiving and storing messages. Simple MAPI includes some of these functions. Extended MAPI includes all of these functions.

Mail Application Program Interface. This Windows software standard has become a popular e-mail interface and is used by MS Exchange, GroupWise, and other e-mail packages.

See messaging application programmable interface.

Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) is a program that allows you send e-mail from within Microsoft Windows applications and attach the current document onto the e-mail.

Messaging Applications Programming Interface. Programming interface specification that enables an application to send and receive mail over a Microsoft Mail message system.

Messaging Applications Programming Interface. The Microsoft application programming interface that enable programs to send messages over a Microsoft Mail network.

A standard interface that Exchange Server and Client use to communicate with each other. There are two types of MAPI: Simple MAPI and Extended MAPI. Simple MAPI contains 12 high-level messaging functions for implementation of simple messaging. Extended MAPI is designed for applications that depend heavily upon messaging. It provides for handling complex messages, large numbers of messages, message storage, and complex addressing information. Exchange uses Extended MAPI.

Message Application Program Interface. Eudora's MAPI support allows you to quickly attach documents to e-mail messages directly from the application where you created the document. Without MAPI, you would have to save the document, remember what folder the document is in, switch to Eudora, and then remember to manually attach the document to the outgoing message.

Messaging Application Programming Interface; a system built into Microsoft Windows that enables different e-mail programs to interface to distribute e-mail. When both programs are MAPI-enabled, they can share messages.

A messaging API from Microsoft. It consists of two components: Simple MAPI and Extended MAPI. Simple MAPI provides hooks to various messaging systems, so developers can create message-enabled applications by writing those applications to Simple MAPI , rather than developing those hooks themselves. Extended MAPI is platform specific to Windows.

Acronym for Message Application Programming Interface. A...

Microsoft's set of software functions that allow messaging modules to interact with each other, specifying the format of various message types and how to transfer and store them.
