PC MAPI: MAPI_NEW_SESSION Fails to Log in a New Session

• Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 3.0, 3.2

SYMPTOMS

Page 68 of the Microsoft Mail for PC Networks "Technical Reference" (and page 65 of the version 3.0 "Technical Reference") states that there is a MAPI_NEW_SESSION flag that can be set for the MAPILogon function. The "Technical Reference" states that MAPI_NEW_SESSION can be used if the MAPI application desires a Mail session other than the session that is currently established.

Microsoft Mail does not allow more than one session to be established concurrently. If a different session is passed to the MAPILogon function, MAPILogon will attempt to log in with the current session (Mail client) and a MAPI_E_TOO_MANY_SESSIONS return code error will result.

RESOLUTION

To establish a second session, the first session must be released by using the MAPILogoff function.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks. We are researching the problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
