There is no creatable coclass (that I ever heard of) with progId
'Mapi.Session'.

You have to instantiate a coclass that will let you get at a
relevant MAPI object model.  The progId you will use will
depend on what MAPI-supplying product you want to use --
Exchange Server, Outlook, Eudora, Netscape, whatever.  With
Outlook, for example, the Session property of the Outlook
application object (which is a creatable coclass, with a
progId of 'Outlook.Application') might serve your needs.
