MAPI Properties (Compact 7)

  • Article

3/12/2014

This section contains property tag definitions for standard properties of Messaging API (CE MAPI) objects. Each property has an associated hexadecimal Property Identifier (ID). Properties in similar categories are grouped together into ranges of Property IDs.

Note

Unlike members of COM variant arrays, every member in a MAPI multi-valued property array is of the same type. Conversation ID is not implemented. Message grouping by thread is not supported. There is no provision in CE MAPI for iterating through an item's properties. Instead, you must retrieve one property at a time.

The following subsections correspond to each of the property types, and are listed according to their position in the range of Property IDs. See the remarks section for more information.
