2. Create a program file and type the following code:

   
         oleMAPISession = CREATEOBJECT( "MSMAPI.MAPISession" )
         oleMAPIMessage = CREATEOBJECT( "MSMAPI.MAPIMessages" )
         WITH oleMAPISession
            .Signon()
               IF ( .SessionID > 0 )
                  oleMAPIMessage.SessionID = .SessionID
                  ACTIVATE WINDOW watch
                  oleMAPIMessage.FETCH()
                  SUSPEND
               ENDIF
          ENDWITH 




3. Save and run the program.

5. Expand the MAPI control (oleMapiMessage) and scroll down or up in the Watch window.
