To add a new message service to a profile

  • Call IMsgServiceAdmin::CreateMsgService. CreateMsgService performs the following tasks:

    1. Copies all of the relevant information for the message service that is in the MAPISVC.INF file, creating a profile section for every provider section.

    2. Calls the message service's entry point function with the ulContext parameter set to MSG_SERVICE_CREATE.

    3. Sets the message service's PR_SERVICE_UID (PidTagServiceUid) property.

To access the new message service

  1. Call IMsgServiceAdmin::GetMsgServiceTable to retrieve the message service table.

  2. Call the message service table's IMAPITable::Advise method to register for table notifications.

  3. When MAPI sends a TABLE_ROW_ADDED notification, locate the entry identifier of the newly added message service in the SRow structure included in the TABLE_NOTIFICATION structure.
