How can I use something like mock objects when calling Win API functions like this?

Can't you write tests by putting a dedicated mail server on your system,
then send it real mail?

This is what I did before. But it's hard to simulate
MAPI_E_LOGON_FAILED, MAPI_E_USER_CANCEL and other errors. Those lags
at MAPILogonEx() make tests run minutes rather than seconds.

And TDD says that I have to test domain code independently of
enviroment, isn't it?
