PC MAPI: MAPI_NEW_SESSION Fails to Log in a New Session (121131)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.0
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.2
This article was previously published under Q121131 SYMPTOMS
Page 68 of the Microsoft Mail for PC Networks "Technical Reference"
(and page 65 of the version 3.0 "Technical Reference") states that there is
a MAPI_NEW_SESSION flag that can be set for the MAPILogon function. The
"Technical Reference" states that MAPI_NEW_SESSION can be used if the
MAPI application desires a Mail session other than the session that is
currently established.
Microsoft Mail does not allow more than one session to be established
concurrently. If a different session is passed to the MAPILogon function,
MAPILogon will attempt to log in with the current session (Mail client) and
a MAPI_E_TOO_MANY_SESSIONS return code error will result.
RESOLUTION
To establish a second session, the first session must be released by using
the MAPILogoff function.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2
of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks. We are researching the problem and will
post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
