Windows Process Description:

The program file mapi.dll is defined as Extended MAPI 1.0 for Windows 3. The file is an acronym for Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI). MAPI is a Microsoft Windows program interface that allows you to send e-mail from within a Windows application and attach the document which you are working on to the e-mail note. Applications that take advantage and make use of the mapi.dll file include Word processors, spreadsheets, and graphics programs. These applications utilizes the DLL by communicating and sending requests.

The module mapi.dll contains a standardized set of C language functions. Designed by Microsoft Corporation, third party vendors now support these MAPI functions. It is also available to Visual Basic application writers through a Basic-to-C translation layer. The file uses 520128 bytes of physical memory of the computer.

There are two distinct sets of functions defined for the complete MAPI library, one, is a group of twelve functions known as the "simple" MAPI subset and the other, functions beyond the basic twelve calls, known as the "extended" MAPI calls. The mapi.dll module lets a user have complete control over the messaging system on the client computer, creation and management of messages, management of the client mailbox, service providers and the likes. The DLL mapi.dll allows Windows application developers to take advantage of the Windows messaging subsystem, supported by default with Microsoft Mail or Microsoft Exchange.

The file mapi.dll, by the MAPI interface, allows any Windows messaging application to be "mail-enabled". This is because MAPI standardizes the way messages or messaging are handled by mail-enabled applications as each (messaging) application does not have to include vendor-specific code for each target messaging system. In outgoing e-mail messages, the mapi.dll file allows users to attach documents from an application that created a document.

Without the mapi.dll module, users must first save the document, and remember what folder the document is in. The user switches to a third party message generator (like Eudora etc), then remember to manually attach the document to the outgoing message before they could send the document. The file mapi.dll simplifies this process significantly. For one to e-mail, simply open a document from your mail-enabled application and run the File: Send command. This automatically activates a third party mail application and attaches a snapshot of the open document to the (third party) composition message.
