Hi,

Does anyone know anything about writing mail plugins for Pocket Outlook ? My thoughts are to produce custom plugins that fix the short commings such as POP-Before SMTP, APOP, etc and keeping it opensource and free... Any thought on this and if it is at all possible ?

Firstly I know nothing, but here are some helpful links which might help.

1. Get yourself a copy of the Pocket PC 2002 SDK, its got the header files you'll need plus API documentation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sample.asp?url=/MSDN-FILES/027/001/908/msdncompositedoc.xml

2. You'll also need eVC++ 3.0

3. There are some articles on MAPI here:-

Hope that at least helps for starters...

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your input, I should have said, I am already an Embedded Visual C++ Developer and I am thinking about changing the transport layer so that we don't have to change Pocket Outlook and pocket outlook could use these new mechanisms without modificatin, therefore (I beleive) we are working a layer below MAPI as Pocket outlook uses this as it's interface.

Take a look at TransportDemo that is in the win32 samples directory of the PocketPC 2002 SDK. It provides source code for a demo transport that you can use with Inbox.
