Short for Messaging Application Programming Interface, a system built into Microsoft Windows that enables different e-mail applications to work together to distribute mail. As long as both applications are MAPI-enabled, they can share mail messages with each other.

MAPI stands for Mail Application Programming Interface. It is basically a universal provider for shelling bits of functionality in mail applications such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, etc. MAPI has been drastically deemphasized in Windows due to the outbreak of self-spreading worms (email viruses.) Many clients have stopped fully supporting it.
A modern, easier-to-use mail API in recent versions of Windows is CDO.

Mail Application Programming Interface you can send - receive email via your VB6.0 application, but it's not quite easy as it seems this control is related to outlook express and it's not quite handy if you didn't configure ur settings in outlook express or so...
Try googling for more info..
