messages.cpp

This example displays information about the messages in the inbox, with output like:

Inbox contains 2 messages
|-----> Test User1 | Working Remotely with Windows Small Business Server
|-----> Test User1 | Welcome to Windows Small Business Server 2003

The example shows how to create a session, get the message_store, and open the inbox folder. It then determines how many messages are in the inbox folder, and retrieves and prints the intended addressee and the message subject.
