>Now 1.0 is free off the net. So how much should 1.1 be? Try $500. That's right, it is only available via MSDN Professional subscription which has the MAPI SDK or for $1999 for the MS Exchange Server. Why version 1.0 is free and version 1.1 with just a few added properties and methods is $500 no one at MS could explain. Also you can't buy version 1.1 or even the MAPI SDK separately.

well, - not justifying that you have to have a MSDN membership to get
the MAPI SDK
but remember that the MSDN subscription offer you much more than
the MAPI SDK, from lanuages to technical papers to samples to SDKs
etc. etc.
