The app is telling you that the DLL named "mapirule.dll" doesn't exist on
your target device. My guess is you're using a target that doesn't support
what you're trying to do.

If you use the Sms MessageInterceptor built into the
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook library you don't need to write your
own native IMapiRuleClient (which is what I guess this dll is for). Have a
look in the SDK documentation for the
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception namespace (one of
the sample applications should cover this too).

If this is the MS sample I have used in the past, then mapirule.dll is a
custom dll which you need to create yourself and copy to the device along
with the program. It contains the 'rules' for examining received text
messages for defined content and processing those which match.
