As well as the Extended MAPI client interface, programming calls can be made indirectly through the API client interface ''Simple MAPI'', or through the ''Common Messaging Calls'' (CMC) API client interface, or by the object-based '' CDO Library '' interface. These three methods are easier to use and designed for less complex messaging-enabled and -aware applications. The full Extended MAPI interface is required for messaging-based applications. MAPI was originally designed by Microsoft . The company founded its MS Mail team in 1987 , but it was not until it acquired Consumers Software Inc in 1991 to obtain ''Network Courier'' that it had a messaging product. Reworked it was sold as MS PC Mail (or Microsoft Mail for PC Networking). The basic API to MS PC Mail was MAPI version 0. MAPI uses functions ''based'' on the X.400 XAPIA standard. Extended MAPI is the main e-mail data access method used by Microsoft Exchange . Simple MAPI and CMC were removed from Exchange 2003. In light of the existence of open messaging standards such as SMTP and IMAP , MAPI is sometimes criticized as an illustration of Microsoft's " Embrace, Extend And Extinguish " approach to internet protocols.
