NOTE: The procedures in this article only apply if you have installed Outlook with the Corporate or Workgroup option.

SUMMARY

Microsoft does not supply a Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) service to allow Outlook in Corporate/Workgroup mode, to access e-mail on an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP4) Internet mail server. This article describes a third-party solution which will provide this functionality.
