Connecting to the MAPI mail server

To connect to the mail server you must create a MAPI connector:

1	Right-click the Platform view and select New Output Connector > Generic.

2	Double-click the connector. The Output Connector Settings dialog box opens.

3	In the physical layer, select Connector type > MAPI.

4	Configure the settings (see below) and click OK.

Default profile

Use Default profile to specify the default Windows Messaging Profile.

A Windows Messaging Profile identifies a specific user and the mail server. To find the profiles available, open the Mail setup dialog box from the Control Panel and click Show Profiles.

The email address that will be used is the address specified as the From address in the user’s profile. To be able to use alternative From addresses, you must set up a profile for each address. You do this in the runtime configuration of the connector.

Number of retries

Use Number of retries to specify the number of times to try to reconnect if the mail server does not respond.

Retry interval

Use Retry interval to specify the interval (seconds) between the retries.
