Sap Mapi and EBP/SRM

[Michael Chong]

Dear Angelo,
    I've tried to set up the SAPoffice MAPI Provider which comes with SAPGUI
620 (patch level 9) to read emails & workflow workitems from my SAPoffice
inbox in an R/3 4.6C system (support package level 23) but unsuccessful. The
error was that my inbox folder couldn't be displayed after starting my
Outlook 2002 client although I could connect to the R/3 server. Do you have
any tips or ideas on resolving this problem?
 
Best regards,
Michael
