About MAPI

PowerBuilder supports MAPI (messaging application program interface), so you can enable your applications to send and receive messages using any MAPI-compliant electronic mail system.

For example, your PowerBuilder applications can:

Send mail with the results of an analysis performed in the application
Send mail when a particular action is taken by the user
Send mail requesting information
Receive mail containing information needed by the application’s user
