Sample Message Store

This sample uses directories as folders and OLE 2 docfiles as messages (with the MAPI message-on-storage utility). It supports all features required of a default message store. Neither its IMAPIProp nor its IMAPITable interfaces are native; they are provided by the message-on-storage facility and ITableData respectively.
