This content is outdated and is no longer being maintained. It is provided as a courtesy for individuals who are still using these technologies. This page may contain URLs that were valid when originally published, but now link to sites or pages that no longer exist.

Gives control of the CPU to the MAPI spooler so that it can perform any tasks it considers necessary.

HRESULT SpoolerYield(
ULONG ulFlags
);

Parameters

  • ulFlags
    Reserved; must be zero.

Return Value

  • S_OK
    The transport provider successfully released the CPU.

  • MAPI_W_CANCEL_MESSAGE
    Instructs the transport provider to stop the delivery of the message to any recipients that have not yet received it.

Remarks

The IMAPISupport::SpoolerYield method is implemented for transport provider support objects. Transport providers call SpoolerYield to allow the MAPI spooler to accomplish any necessary processing.

Notes to Callers

Call SpoolerYield when you are performing lengthy operations that can be paused. This allows foreground applications to run during a long operation, such as delivery to a large recipient list across a busy network.

If SpoolerYield returns with MAPI_W_CANCEL_MESSAGE, the MAPI spooler has determined that the message should no longer be sent. Return MAPI_E_USER_CANCEL to your calling process and exit, if possible.
