I need to be able to send an Email via MAPI. So I would like a bridge from MQ to MAPI, or from files to MAPI.
Does anyone know of such a thing?
(STMP/POP3 is not possible in this case.)
Or alternatively what is the easiest way to make both MQ and MAPI calls (without resorting to compiled languages like C or C++)? |

I don't know of such a thing. MAPI is not very difficult to use, maybe powershell can call it. http://www.blat.net/ might be helpful.

VB.NET?
Not technically compiled, I guess. |

Blat uses SMTP.
I have found a command line program mapisend which may be useful. This comes from a MS resource kit.
VB.net is probably the best option for coding as you suggest. |

MAPI is an old obsolete Windows-only Outlook e-mail API.

About a year ago, I added a whole bunch of code to MQ Batch Toolkit to be a bridge between email and MQ plus many, many other features, such that it would be the base for v2.0 of MQ Batch Toolkit. The coding and most of the testing is done but I got pulled back into the security world before I could complete everything.
It uses SMTP and POP3 to send and receive emails. I wrote it to treat an email account like a queue. The email message body becomes the message data for 'GetEmail' command and the opposite for 'SentEmail' command.
If you want to be a guinea pig then I can package it up for you.

Thanks, but WMB can pretty much do that as well.
But unfortunately POP3 is not allowed for various (questionable) reasons. |
