Windows Server Essentials HostedEmail add-in samples
This sample describes the key components for a hosted email add-in, a mockup service, and a logging helper for Windows Server Essentials.
Windows Server Essentials allows email service hosts to develop an add-in to integrate Essentials features via the Hosted Email Add-in Framework. This sample describes how to create and build a hosted email add-in provider, a log monitor, additions to the Dashboard UI, as well as a custom Windows Installer package. The sample also includes a simulated email service, which the provider links to in order to demonstrate simple email features.
