How to fix:The Microsoft Exchange MAPI subsystem is not installed on this system

Recently I was installing CRM 2011 Email Router and during the installation process I received an error stating:

There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default programs control pane

And it displayed an error "The Microsoft Exchange MAPI subsystem is not installed on this system."

Here is the Microsoft KB Article that helps you resolve just this. Your installation must run smoothly thereafter.

How to fix: This message has not yet been submitted for delivery

To make this message disappear you have to make certain configurations in CRM like one of the following:

• Check to see if you have approved the CRM user to send an email. Settings > Administration > Users > Select the user and click Approve Email.

• Open CRM user record and check Email Access Configuration section on the form. Make sure the correct profile has been chosen. i.e. If you are using Email Router to route incoming and outgoing emails, make sure the Email access type - Incoming and Email access type - Outgoing are set to Email router. (Make sure email router is configured for this).

• In continuation to the above point, if you are using Outlook to send and receive emails, make sure Email access type - Incoming and Email access type - Outgoing are set to Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook. (For this to work, you have to install and configure Microsoft Dynamics CRM Client for Office Outlook on the Client machine).

These steps are sure to help you understand the various check points to configure emails correctly in CRM. Share them with others if you know of someone who is battling their minds on this.

PS: Now I was using Microsoft Dynamics CRM Client for Office Outlook to send and receive emails and made sure the appropriate configurations have been done but, the message still seems to bother me. I noticed my Office Outlook application was closed :)

The length of the 'messageid' attribute of the 'email' entity exceeded the maximum allowed length of '100'

I was receiving this error often at the Event Viewer > Application Log of the CRM Server.

E-mail Sending Failed - Dynamics CRM 4.0 E-mail Router

Recently I had a chance to date with the E-mail Router for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0. I did not have an Exchange Server setup so I tried with the POP3 e-mail settings. Though it was straight forward and easy to configure the E-mail Router, I had some trouble sending an e-mail from CRM.

By the way, I am using Google Mail (Gmail) POP3 service to configure my environment.

I received the below error

#61042 - An error occurred while processing the outgoing e-mail
message with subject "xyz" for SMTP: http://localhost:5555/organizationName for
delivery through smtp.gmail.com. System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: The operation
has timed out.

Microsoft.Crm.Tools.Email.Providers.SmtpPollingSendEmailProvider.ProcessMessageInternal(email
emailMessage)
at
Microsoft.Crm.Tools.Email.Providers.CrmPollingSendEmailProvider.ProcessMessage(email
emailMessage)
at
Microsoft.Crm.Tools.Email.Providers.CrmPollingSendEmailProvider.Run()

After trying things like re-configure E-mail Router, Gmail POP3 settings, E-mail Router service restart etc. something dawn'd on me.

I noticed that Gmail had provided with 2 port numbers, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and it's successor TLS (Transport Layer Security). I replaced the SSL port number with the TLS (ie 465 with 587) in the E-mail Router Outgoing Configuration Settings under the Advanced tab.

Result: The E-mail moved on and so did I. Happy e-mailing!!
