Hi,
Problem is that the 'AddMailbox()' COM API hangs with MailEnable version 5.05 and 5.06.
I just verified that any previous versions (5.1, 4.x, and 3.x) of MailEnable works great.
The problem occurs with both fresh install or upgrade of MailEnable 5.05 & 5.06 all editions.
I found an event from EventViewer.
"MailEnable PostOffice Service error: 3
Timed out waiting to block for POSTOFFICES\PostofficeName\MAILBOX."
Our codes were written in C to call ME COM APIs.
Does anyone have a similar issue?
Thanks,
James

Re: AddMailbox COM API hangs with MailEnable 5.05 or 5.06
Hi,
A bug was introduced in version 5.05 that interfered with the API when creating postoffices and mailboxes - with exactly the symptoms you have described. The issue should have been addressed in version 5.06; but perhaps when you upgraded it did not replace the meaipo.dll file (which is the file with the bug).
You can download a replacement file for versions 5.05 and earlier from here:
(Bin directory) http://www.mailenable.com/hotfix/meaipofix.zip
(Bin64 directory) http://www.mailenable.com/hotfix/meaipofix64.zip
You will need to stop all mailenable services and metray.exe (exit system tray) in order to replace these files.
You may need to stop the Application Pool/Web Service since it could have the files locked/in use also.

I appreciate your prompt reply! With the hotfix, it works awesomely.

The hotfix also fixed my problem.
A side note; I already had a domain on the server and patched the server, I did had to remake the domain on the server else I was still unable to create
a mailbox.

This bug is happening to me, but the hotfix did not help. Any other ideas?
How do I figure out what MailEnable version I have?
