Configuring a Message Service

To configure all the service providers in a message service

• Call IMsgServiceAdmin::ConfigureMsgService.

  If all of the data necessary for configuration is available programmatically, you can choose whether or not to display a user interface. However, if some of the information for one or more providers is not available, make sure that you set the SERVICE_UI_ALLOWED or SERVICE_UI_ALWAYS flag. Suppressing a user interface when required configuration data is unavailable results in an unconfigured message service.

To configure a single service provider in a message service

1. Call IMAPISession::GetStatusTable to access the service provider's status object.
2. Call IMAPIStatus::SettingsDialog to display the service provider's property sheet.

For more information about using status objects, see Using the Status Table and Status Objects.
