I've been struggling with the same problem. The MAPIMail class works fine for simple email creation, such as creating and displaying an new email message, as long as you have set your mail default to GroupWise. Unfortunately, GW isn't fully MAPI compliant. I've also played with the GW API calls to create session objects, then create new emails. I've done it successfully for emails sent to GroupWise addressees (NGW-type) but it often fails when trying to send to Internet:-type addresses. I understand that Novell will be releasing version 6 very soon, which is supposed to follow the API standards much better (there was a lot of kludge code in 5.x versions).

Bottom line is to set your default to GW, then only use the class for simple functionality.
