Hello all

There is a new package called MAPIEx.

It permits you to check email folders, open and save emails including images and attachments, read appointments, create contacts or delete emails and folders.

As it uses Extended MAPI it overcomes Outlook security patch that made initial MAPI applications almost unusable.

MAPIEx user classes are:
- MAPIEx
- MAPIFolder
- MAPIMessage
- MAPIAppointment
- MAPIAttachment
- MAPIContact

Many simple examples are included in MAPIEx_demo package.

As usual it includes documentation of main classes.

As MAPIEx uses internal Microsoft infrastructure, it can only work in Windows. It only compiles using MSC but MinGW could be added in a next future.

Best regards
Iñaki
