Change password with SAP MAPI

[Alon Raskin]

Hi Patrick,
 
Please forgive me for emailing you directly but I didnt think that it was
appropriate to send this out to the list.
 
I have developed my own alternative to SAP MAPI. It is called Desktop Workplace
(http://www.desktopworkplace.com). It provides all the functionality of SAP
MAPI and a whole lot more. The next release of DW (which is due in about 2 to 4
weeks) will allow MAPI users to change their password without logging into SAP.
Let me know if you are interested and I can provide you with a link where you
can download a demo.
 
Regards,
 
Alon Raskin
