Opening a Private Information Store

A private information store is the MAPI message store implementation (part of the Microsoft Exchange Server information store) that stores mailboxes for users. Once you have a handle to a MAPI session, you can use it to locate the private information store for the user whose profile you used to log on.

    To open a private information store

1. Log on to a MAPI profile with the MAPILogonEx function. This call returns a MAPI session handle.
2. Call the HrOpenExchangePrivateStore function, passing the session handle obtained in step 1 in the lphSession parameter. As a result of this call, the lppMDB output parameter points to the opened private information store.

For more information on obtaining a session handle, see Opening an Information Store. For examples of using the HrOpenExchangePrivateStore function, see the sample application source files \BKOFFICE\SAMPLES\EXCHANGE\MBLSAMPL\MBLSAMPL.C and \BKOFFICE\SAMPLES\EXCHANGE\MBXSERV\MBXSERV.CPP.
