Windows 7 - using MAPI from Visual Studio 2005

Asked By Atul Thombre

Hello,

I am trying to develop a MAPI client application using Visual Studio 2005.
In fact, I had an old MAPI application developed using earlier versions of
Visual studio and I am trying to compile it using Visual Studio 2005. I am
getting few errors. After investigating the source of those errors, I found
out that

1) Exchange SDK is no longer shipped with Visual Studio so EDK.h is not
available neither is the associated libraries. I could not find the download
location for this SDK on MSDN site as well.

2) fstream.h is also not available.

I searched the Internet for solutions for these problems but nothing
concrete was available. Can anyone help me with these issues? Basically, is
it possible to develop MAPI client application using Visual Studio 2005? Or
I have to go back to the earlier version?

Thanks,

Atul.

Forgot to mention most important fact. I am trying to connect with Exchange
server 2003.

Googling for "EDK download", the first hit is what you want. The secret
is knowing that the Exchange SDK is called the EDK. (assuming you want the
old 5.5-era ExMAPI stuff)

However, don't forget to read this first:

I'm not sure about this one; I'd suggest just doing #include <fstream>,
that's how STL stuff normally works. This thread has some discussion on
the subject:
