Parameters

hResult

MAPI_UNICODE

The strings in the MAPIERROR4GS6AI structure returned in the lppMAPIError parameter are in Unicode format. If the MAPI_UNICODE flag is not set, the strings are in ANSI format.

lppMAPIError

[out] Pointer to a pointer to the returned MAPIERROR structure containing version, component, and context information for the error. The lppMAPIError parameter can be set to NULL if there is no MAPIERROR structure to return.

Remarks

The IMsgServiceAdmin::GetLastError method retrieves information about the last error that was returned by an IMsgServiceAdmin method call. Clients can provide their users with detailed information about the error by including this information in a dialog box.

Notes to Callers

You can make use of the MAPIERROR structure pointed to by the lppMAPIError parameter, if MAPI supplies one, only if GetLastError returns S_OK. Sometimes MAPI cannot determine what the last error was or has nothing more to report about the error. In this situation, GetLastError returns a pointer to NULL in lppMAPIError instead.
