The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.0

This article was previously published under Q136957 SUMMARY
By using a Simple Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI)
application, you can find a user that is currently logged on to Microsoft
Mail. The following code illustrates one way that this can be done using
Microsoft Visual C++ version 1.5 or any other C compiler.
