Receive Adapter
The Receive Adapter allows to monitor for incoming events in a user folder. KEAB provides a mechanism to synchronize changes between Exchange Server and the Receive Adapter service. The KEA Synchronization Service retrieves changes from the monitored folders and saves a small key for later retrieval.
Send Adapter
The Send adapter for BizTalk Server allows users to create, delete and update any kind of messages (mail, contacts, appointments, notes) and sub-folders in Exchange Server.
The Adapter is an In-Process BizTalk Server Adapter, and, therefore runs in the piece of equipment where BizTalk Server is installed. It supports both: the send pattern and the request-response pattern.
Once the artifact receives the message, it evaluates this, and based on this information, executes the operation against Exchange; for that specific purpose, BizTalk server assigns the execution of the query to the WriteCore component that is in charge of writing the requested messages through MAPI.
