SUMMARY
Application FFAPI and Gateway FFAPI are similar in that they allow you
to send/receive messages from/to an MMFF (Microsoft Mail File Format) file.
They differ in that Application FFAPI sends/receives messages as a single
Microsoft Mail user while Gateway FFAPI sends/receives messages as a pseudo
Microsoft Mail postoffice. This difference makes Application FFAPI resemble
the MS-DOS client.
APPPUT.EXE (or the large-model version, LAPPPUT.EXE) allows you to "put"
an MMF file message into the Microsoft Mail database, where it is treated
the same as any other message. For example:
APPPUT -iname:password -dm -f2 xyz.txt
APPGET.EXE (or the large model version, LAPPGET.EXE) allows you to "get"
a message from the Microsoft Mail database and put it into an MMFF file.
For example:
APPGET -iname:password -dm -f2 xyz.txt
APPDIR.EXE (or the large model version, LAPPDIR.EXE) allows you to get a
postoffice address list from the Mail system and place it in an output
file. For example:
APPDIR -iname:password -dm -leNET/PO1 xyz.txt
