OK, I remember running into all sorts of problems when I first started using MAPI...unfortunately, although I found the cure, I can't remember them now!.

Make sure that you've got a valid MAPI installation : sometimes it's possible to have a sort of 16/32 bit hybrid: make sure your MAPI installation states "Windows Messaging" when it starts up, not Exchange (I have messaging build 4.0.839.14).

When I installed LookOut Express I stated that I wanted to have it act as my MAPI client, which promptly disabled MAPI - check this.
