Introduction in Messaging Text MTM example code

The TextMTM (examples\Messaging\TextMTM) is an example MTM project, which shows many aspects of dealing with the Messaging APIs. Developers can use it as a basis for experimenting with the MTM architecture, and for studying the MTM interfaces.

Rather than implementing a real message transport protocol, the TextMTM simulates this by treating the local file system as a remote mail server. The TextMTM allows a user to create a service representing a folder in the file system. The service then contains entries for each folder and file under that folder, so functioning as a mirror of the folder contents.

The UI MTM component allows users to get messages from the "remote" server, to edit the contents of a text message, and to copy messages back to a TextMTM service. Moving and deleting messages is also allowed.

The TextMTM is made up of a number of components, and so the source has a number of projects.

The following project is a utility project, used for deploying the MTM.

Project	Description
`txin`	Utility application for MTM installation

The following projects supply the source for the MTM.

Project	Description
`txtc`	Client-side MTM implementation. This defines the methods required for a `CBaseMtm`-derived class. It is instantiated by a client application to perform MTM-specific tasks.
`txti`	UI Data MTM implementation. This presents the messaging application with useful information, without the need for actually fully loading all the DLLs necessary to handle text messages.
`txts`	Server-side MTM implementation. This provides all the functionality to handle messages on the server side, and supports moving, copying, deleting, and creating of entries.
`txtu`	User Interface MTM implementation. This is loaded when the user decides to actually perform some MTM-specific task, such as editing a message.
`txut`	A small utilities DLL where code resides that has to be shared between the MTM implementations.
