This article was previously published under Q139857 SYMPTOMS
When you close Microsoft Exchange by double-clicking the System menu or by
choosing the Close command on the System menu, it is similar to choosing
the Exit command from the File menu rather than the Exit And Log Off
command.
As a result, the Microsoft Exchange Windows client closes, but the
messaging application programming interface (MAPI) connection is left open.
CAUSE
This is by design. It prevents you from having to close all other messaging
applications (for example, Schedule+ version 7.0) when the Microsoft
Exchange window is closed.
WORKAROUND
If you use a Microsoft Exchange Client Extension, it is possible to change
the default behavior to allow the Microsoft Exchange client to Exit And Log
Off when it is closed using the System Menu. The extension would need to
watch for the close menu being called and then exit and log off.
Please refer to the MAPI Software Development Kit (SDK) for more
information on how to create Microsoft Exchange Client Extensions.
