Confirm, Thunderbird definitely cannot act as a MAPI client. You will find references to Thunderbird using MAPI but that is in the context of making Thunderbird the default email client on a Windows machine, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/MAPI_Support . I suspect this page is a bit dated (ie Thunderbird has had some bugs fixed since it was written.) Just for general interest - other people can relatively easily write their own MAPI clients on Windows, by calling Microsoft's MAPI32.DLL. These programs communicate with the Exchange server using exactly the same library code as Outlook. When Evolution (not on Windows) communicates with an Exchange server it uses entirely different, non-Microsoft code, the equivalent to MAPI32.DLL being the libmapi library. -- Dan Shearer [email protected] _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.openchange.org/listinfo/devel
