MS-Exchange Programming Examples

This are some sample applications for MS-Exchange 5.5 developed with Delphi 5 to demonstrate different technology implementations:

MS Exchange Mailbox Creator Sample
MAPI Hierarchy Viewer Sample
Custom MAPI Address Book Viewer Sample

Please Note: At IMIBO we develop our products ONLY with native MS Exchange API an MAPI (self-translated), because this is 10-99 times faster than CDO and/or ADSI (See Tests).

CDO Simple Mail Reader Sample

We receive many questions, how with CDO (Microsoft Collaboration Data Objects) a developer working on Borland DELPHI can access the Microsoft Exchange Server Information Store.

It is very easy (thanks to Borland and Microsoft). A small and very simple MAIL reader can be build for 30-40 minutes (assumed you know DELPHI and CDO, and have 5-10 minutes for a coffee or tea).

The sample below (Simple MAIL Reader) demonstrates how-to:

Login to Exchange Server
Get available Information Stores
Get and work with Information Store Folders Collection
Get and work with Folder
Get and work with Messages (enumerate, read, delete and send)
Get and work with Recipients
and more

Please be aware CDO are properly installed in your PC.
