Setting up the MSMQ MAPI Transport Provider

Setting up the MSMQ MAPI Transport Provider is a two-part process that includes:

• Installing the MAPI Transport Provider.
• Creating a MAPI address for your MSMQ application.

Installing the MSMQ MAPI Transport Provider

The MSMQ MAPI Transport Provider can be installed using its own Setup program or from any other MAPI profile configuration tool (such as Microsoft Exchange).

The MAPI Transport Provider's Setup program can be found in:

msmq\MQMail\mapixp\setup
 

Note  To run Setup from another MAPI profile configuration tool, see the documentation for that tool. Both processes add the Microsoft® Message Queue service to the list of MAPI Transport Providers available to your MAPI applications.

After MAPI Transport Provider is installed, add Microsoft Message Queue to your other MAPI profiles. (For more information on how to add services to your profiles, see the documentation for your MAPI client). After adding Microsoft Message Queue, restart your other MAPI applications to make sure your profile changes have taken effect.

Creating MAPI Addresses

Each MSMQ application that sends mail messages or receives translated e-mail messages must have a MAPI address. The MSMQ MAPI Transport Provider uses this information to locate the application's input queue.

The addresses for your MSMQ applications should be created and saved in the personal address book used by your MAPI applications. To create an address, open the personal address book and add a new address of the type Other Address. The following table describes the necessary content for each field.

Clear the Always send to this recipient in Microsoft Exchange rich text check box. Rich text information should never be sent to an MSMQ application.
