This appears to be a Windows Me issue.

I assume eumapi.dll is in your Eudora directory, right?
At the risk of being redundant (sorry if you already understood this):
MAPI32.dll is installed by Exchange, Outlook, and various other MAPI
server applications.
The /installmapi switch does not rename the file. It copies tbmapi.dll
over the top of it, BUT renames tbmapi.dll to mapi32.dll. Similarly, if
you enable the MAPI server in Eudora, eumapi.dll is copied over the
top of mapi32.dll, renaming it at the same time.
The \windows\system directory must have mapi32.dll, WITH THAT NAME,
for any MAPI client to send a MAPI message.
Hope that made sense....

See above. It's overwritten, not renamed.

Again appears to be Windows Me. I have it in Windows 98.
I'm assuming that you did already have MAPI32.dll before installing
the TB version. If not, I doubt that TB will install fixmapi.exe. It
also probably doesn't install mapistub.dll, so if TB was your first
MAPI server to be installed, that might explain why you have neither
fixmapi.exe nor mapistub.dll.
If Eudora was your first MAPI server, this may also be true.

But we now know that you change the link to say whatever you want. It

Right now, that's certainly a more dependable method....
