>If yes or no, please explain why?

MAPI  compliance  refers  to  a  service  that may be programmed using
Microsoft's MAPI function set, and generally this would be done on the
client  side.

For  example,  Lotus  Notes was for a long time a closed database that
required  the Lotus Notes client, but Notes stores may now be accessed
using   a   plug-in   for   Outlook  that  was  written  to  the  MAPI
specification.  Similarly,  WinFax Lite has a plug-in for Outlook that
lets you use your fax address book to submit faxes to the WinFax queue
without leaving Outlook.

By  these standards, IMail, especially its proprietary web calendaring
and  personal  address  book databases, are not MAPI compliant. On the
other hand, the parts of IMail that are standards-based work fine with
the built-in MAPI services such as Internet Mail (POP3/SMTP/IMAP4) and
LDAP--so,  for instance, a standard MAPI "send" command can be used to
program  the  Internet Mail service, which in turn "programs" IMail to
send a message.

So I'd say it depends on the true aim of the question.
