[windev] Need Mapi SDK for Visual C++ 6.0 Outlook 2003

[Mark McGinty]

Are you sure you want to do this in a service?  If there are multiple
profiles defined, how will it pick one?  And what about any login
credentials that may be needed?  I'd think an Outlook AddIn would be a
better fit -- true Outlook would need to be running but who cares what's in
Outlook folders when it isn't?

Regardless, consider using a third-party tool called Outlook Redemption,
rather than writing a bunch of MAPIX code.  You can try it for free, it's
license is very reasonably priced and I've found it to be excellent.

It includes a set of "safe*item" helper objects to pick-up the slack where
Outlook's object model is missing things, and also it's own object model RDO
(Redemption data object) that is highly functional (and where I'd suggest
anyone new to Outlook programming should start.)  It will save you an
absolute ton of time, without a doubt.
