Information about objects is documented in various sections of the Microsoft Outlook 2010 MAPI Reference. Because almost all MAPI objects expose a single MAPI interface, the approach is to treat objects and the interfaces that they expose as synonymous.

You can find information about objects and interfaces in the following sections.
