I want to know if there is any way to detect outlook profiles
connection status, I am using mapi to create outlook profile for
scanning exchange mailboxes.

I wanted to know whether there is any interface / method / way
available in mapi to know the connection mode TCP/IP or RPC once the
profile is properly configured and connected to exchange server
server.

Thanks,
Neeraj

Do you mean ROH (RPC-over-HTTP) vs regular RPC?
Look for the PR_ROH_xys properties in the global
(pbGlobalProfileSectionGuid) profile section.

Yes, my application can create both type of profiles RPC / ROH but the
real issue is sometimes even after setting ROH flags in the profile
the connection falls back to RPC automatically.

My question is how do I determine if the profile in execution is
connected to exchange server using RPC/ROH. Is there any interface /
function available in mapi through which I can query some property
which can tell me the connection mode.

Are you saying that I should look into the global profile section for
PR_ROH_xxx flag values once the profile is successfully connected to
exchange server. Is there any specific PR_ROH property which can tell
me exactly if the profile is connected using ROH and not RPC.

Thanks,
Neeraj

I don't think you can determine the active connection mode - it is dynamic
and can change while the profile is beign used.
Why is it important?

I want to provide "Connection Status" functionality same as MS Outlook
provides in my application. Is there any way by which I can poll for
connection mode of the profile that is being used so that I can report
the connection mode changes that occur dynamically to the application
user.
