SYMPTOMS
========
When you use MapiSend.exe from a command prompt to send an e-mail message, you
may receive one of the following error messages:
Error: MAPI MapiSend Failed: 14
Error: MAPI MapiSend Failed: 21
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs due to ambiguous name resolution.
If the sender's mailbox alias is ambiguous, the following error occurs:
Error: MAPI MapiSend Failed: 14
If the recipient's mailbox alias is ambiguous, the following error occurs:
Error: MAPI MapiSend Failed: 21
WORKAROUND
==========
Make sure that the mailbox aliases for the sender and the recipient are not
ambiguous.
To test for ambiguity of names, perform the following steps:
1. Type the recipient's (or sender's) name in the To box of a Microsoft Outlook
or Exchange Client standard Send form.
2. Click the To button or use the CTRL+K keystroke to see if the names are
immediately resolved. If they are resolved without any prompting, they are
not ambiguous.
