title: Sending a MAPI email via Java ( or C# )
body: <p>I have a java program that sends some emails currently using SMTP. I have a customer whose corporate network is locked down and only allows sending of emails via the MAPI1 and MAPI4 protocols. </p>
  
  <p>After looking around on the internet I have been unable to find any examples of sending an MAPI email from a Java program. If we have to pay for some 3rd party component its not the end of the world, but free is obviously better :)</p>
  
  <p>Another point to add is that if the task is much easier in C# then there is the possibility of creating the send email functionality in C# and calling the C# program from the Java main application. </p>
  
  <p>Please let me know if you require anymore information.</p>
