The Windows Mobile Messaging API (CE MAPI) provides the messaging architecture for Windows ®phones. It is the Windows Mobile implementation of MAPI for the desktop computer . MAPI for Windows phones provides a set of classes, interfaces, functions, and other data types, to facilitate the development of Windows Mobile messaging applications. MAPI is used by applications and transports to manipulate e-mail data, to create e-mail messages and the folders to store them in, and to support notifications of changes to existing MAPI related data.

Note:
Cemapi.lib exports functions in conformance with C++ standards: as C functions, not C++ functions.

Pocket Outlook Object Model (POOM)

The POOM API is a COM-based library that provides programmatic access to Outlook Mobile Personal Information Management (PIM) data items and container objects. It provides an object-oriented framework for creating, modifying, and displaying Appointment, Task, and Contact items—and for manipulating the folders that contain them.

The POOM API mirrors the Microsoft Office Outlook Object Model , but it's scope of functionality is reduced to accommodate the practical constraints of mobile devices.
