Hi,

I have written a windows service which opens an outlook profile - then a
desired message store - then a desired folder and then processes all emails
in that folder depending on a filter criteria. The service is run against
Outlook XP. There are 7 services in total which are run simultaneously
against the same profile/store/folder. All is well for a certain period of
time. After about 15 minutes of running the services fail to open the
message store which they have been opening before without any problem. The
HRESULT that I get is -2147221219. After three attempts to open the message
store the win services die. Does anyone know what could be happening here?

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

First, programming questions belong in a programming group. Second, using
the Outlook object model is not supported for use in a service. No one will
help with this problem. You need to re-write your code to use Extended MAPI
or CDO 1.21 or Redemption (www.dimastr.com/redemption) for things to work
properly in a service, then people will help.
