Unfortunately, the short answer is: you can't. MAPI is incompatible with managed languages (.Net, Java, etc.) because the garbage collection plays havoc with internal memory management. Your only option is to spawn an external process using an unmanaged language (e.g. C++, VB6) and using cross-process calls for any MAPI functions. You can do this using, for example, a COM EXE. This has the disadvantage that cross-process calls have a lot of overhead and, as a result, tend to be slow; but it may be your only option.
