I'm just paraphrasing the MS docs - that property is documented as "Binary comparable (as with memcmp): No". mapi.CompareEntryIDs is available to compare them. It may simply be implying that 2 different values could be treated as the same (although I can't speculate how that could happen). > I assume that means it is ok to store the eids and use them with > OpenEntry to access the messages store's items. Yep - the point is you can't assume any semantics of the bits - not even comparison - but passing them to other MAPI functions is obviously fine.
