The MAPI technology

 To send messages, LAUNCHER Office uses a technology called MAPI (Messaging Application Program Interface) developed by Microsoft collaboration with a number of other messaging system producers.

 

The aim of this technology is to furnish developers with a "gateway" for their applications. These applications can then access any messaging system, and not just one application designed for one system.

 

By installing specific plugs-ins, you can send faxes through your e-mails.

 

For more information, we advise you to consult the Microsoft web-site (msdn.microsoft.com), and take a look at the articles concerning Microsoft Fax.

 

When using Exchange, different products are used to send faxes through e-mails.

 

To use Outlook or Exchange services, you have to configure LAUNCHER Office to use them.

 

So, in the configuration tab, you will find a combo box that allows you to choose you messaging system type : choose MAPI.

 

You can also choose the profile you want to use to send your e-mails.
