Notes to Implementers

How the message status bits are set, cleared, and used depends entirely on your implementation, except that bits 5 through 15 are reserved and must be zero. If you store messages in the IPM subtree, MAPI reserves bits 16 through 31 for use by IPM clients. If you store messages in other subtrees, you can use bits 16 through 31 for your own purposes.
