Remarks

A MAPIUID structure is a GUID structure put into Intel® processor byte order.

MAPI creates MAPIUID structures in a way that makes it very rare for two different items to have the same identifier. MAPIUID structures can be stored as binary properties or as files, without regard to the byte ordering of the computer storing or accessing the information.

MAPIUID structures are used:

  • To identify a profile section.

  • In the entry identifiers of message store and address book objects to identify the responsible service provider.

  • In the PR_SEARCH_KEY (PidTagSearchKey) property of messages.

To generate a MAPIUID identifier for a search key, service providers call IMAPISupport::NewUID.

When a client transmits a message across a network, it should use a protocol or transmission format that does not change the byte order of MAPIUID data.
