Messaging API (CE MAPI) Reference

4/8/2010

The Windows Mobile Messaging API (CE MAPI) provides the messaging architecture for Windows® phones. It is the Windows Mobile implementation of MAPI for the desktop computer. MAPI for Windows phones provides a set of classes, interfaces, functions, and other data types, to facilitate the development of Windows Mobile messaging applications. MAPI is used by applications and transports to manipulate e-mail data, to create e-mail messages and the folders to store them in, and to support notifications of changes to existing MAPI related data.

Note

Cemapi.lib exports functions in conformance with C++ standards: as C functions, not C++ functions.

  • Pocket Outlook Object Model (POOM)
    The POOM API is a COM-based library that provides programmatic access to Outlook Mobile Personal Information Management (PIM) data items and container objects. It provides an object-oriented framework for creating, modifying, and displaying Appointment, Task, and Contact items—and for manipulating the folders that contain them.

    The POOM API mirrors the Microsoft Office Outlook Object Model, but it's scope of functionality is reduced to accommodate the practical constraints of mobile devices.
