XADM: Retrieving Properties on an Attachment Returns MAPI_E_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY (175220)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q175220 SYMPTOMS
MAPI allows programmers to collect information about the properties of
messages and their attachments. When an application makes a MAPI call to
retrieve properties on an attachment, and PR_ATTACH_DATA_BIN is one of the
requested properties, the call may fail with MAPI_E_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY. This
only occurs the attachment is 31,010 to 32,768 bytes in size (the lower
limit varies depending on what other properties are included in the
request).
CAUSE
When a client does a GetProps() call, it passes a list of properties to
collect information on. The store collects the requested properties and
saves the information in a pre-allocated buffer to be returned to the
client. The size of this buffer is 32,768. As properties are collected and
saved in this buffer, the remaining free space in the buffer is updated.
When the PR_ATTACH_DATA_BIN property is processed, an attempt is made to
put the data in the buffer. Because there is insufficient space in the
buffer for the attachment data, the function collecting the data returns an
error. This error is not being processed correctly by the Information
Store.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem:
- Increase the size of the attachment so it does not fall within the range
of 31,010 to 32,768 bytes.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 4.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service
Pack for Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0. For information on
