Connecting to a MAPI server

To connect to a MAPI server you must create a MAPI for MailOUT connector:

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

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

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

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

Platform settings

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.

Runtime settings

Profile type

Use Profile type to specify which Windows Messaging Profile to use:

•	Use default Profile of connector – Use the Default profile specified in the Platform settings.

•	Static – Use an alternative static Windows Messaging Profile.

•	Variable – Use a variable to specify the Windows Messaging Profile.

•	Lookup – Use a lookup table to specify the Windows Messaging Profile.

Control Center settings
