Notes MAPI Compliance

[JohnOB]

We have a third party product which can create purchase orders and send these via email to suppliers, however they have said this is really designed with Outlook in mind, and thet cannot do this for Lotus Notes unless it is MAPI compliant. Does anyone know if there is a way to make Notes MAPI compliant. We are using v 6.5

Thanks

Notes have support for MAPI.

From Domino Designer help file:
Lotus Domino Designer Release 6 and later supports the messaging application program interface (MAPI), which allows mail integration between Domino and a MAPI-compliant messaging application, such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Office applications, or user-written C++ programs.
To support MAPI, Domino includes these service providers, which provide access to the Domino message, directory, and transport services from simple or extended MAPI clients:
Address Book provider
Message Store provider
Message Transport provider
Using the MAPI classes and methods supported by the Domino MAPI service providers, you can write C++ programs to manipulate Domino objects.
