After a long silent I am trying again to post blog posts. Wish me luck...

Ex MAPI LPPROVIDERADMIN OpenProfileSection

LPPROVIDERADMIN OpenProfileSection fails to retrieve profiles from the Windows mail subsystem, if we are executing as a client executable.

This function works well if we are a service.

But... in our client executable prior to executing the OpenProfileSection, we can impersonate our self as a service executable by performing the following:

//Makes MAPI think we are a service and not a client.

//MAPI grants us Service Access. This makes it all possible... :)

*(((BYTE*)lpProviderAdmin) + 0x60) = 0x2; //LPPROVIDERADMIN lpProviderAdmin

Try this it works.
