Windows Mail Messaging Reference

Switch View

This documentation provides messaging-related information about the set of interfaces for objects related to Microsoft Windows Mail (formerly Outlook Express).

New applications should not use this set of interfaces and schemas. These interfaces and schemas exist for backward compatibility with legacy applications. These interfaces and schemas will be unavailable in the future.

Interfaces
