About

MAPI4Opera is an extension for Opera enabling real MAPI support. With MAPI4Opera you can create emails with attachments from any application supporting MAPI.

Opera has native MAPI support since version 12. So MAPI4Opera is not longer needed.

Features

  • Makes Opera the default email client in Windows (MAPI)
  • Attaches entire directories
  • Creates a ZIP archive on the fly

Requirements

  • Opera 10.60+
  • Windows 2000 or newer

Installation

Download the Installer and follow the instructions.

Opera configuration (en)

Open Tools > Preferences > Advanced

Opera must handle the mailto protocol:
  • Go to section "Programs"
  • Select the protocol "mailto"
  • Click on the button "Edit"
  • Verify that the option "Open with Opera" is selected
  • Click on the button "Details"
  • Verify that the option "mailto" is checked
  • The option EnableDDE of section UserPrefs must be checked.
  • The option Handler of section Mail must be set to 1.
  • The option Version of section TrustedProtocolsSectionInfo must be set to 0.

Opera Konfiguration (de)

Öffnen Sie Extras > Einstellungen > Erweitert

Opera muss das mailto-Protokoll verwalten:
  • Gehen Sie zur Rubrik "Programme"
  • Wählen Sie den Eintrag "mailto" aus
  • Klicken Sie auf die Schaltfläche "Bearbeiten"
  • Versichern Sie sich, dass die Option "In Opera öffnen" ausgewählt ist
  • Klicken Sie auf die Schaltfläche "Details"
  • Versichern Sie sich, dass die Option "mailto" markiert ist
  • Die Option EnableDDE der Rubrik UserPrefs muss aktiviert sein.
  • Die Option Handler der Rubrik Mail muss auf den Wert 1 gesetzt sein.
  • Die Option Version der Rubrik TrustedProtocolsSectionInfo muss auf den Wert 0 gesetzt sein.

Limitations

  • The message body is limited to ~2000 characters (including subject and recipients).
  • OpenOffice has a problem to handle MAPI and DDE requests simultaneously. As a result there is a delay of 30 seconds before the message will be created (see here).

Download

Characteristics of demoversion:

  • Trial period of 30 days
  • A note is added to the message body and an extra file to the attachments
  • This website will be opened on a MAPI request from time to time
