I have developed a outlook plugin project and everything is working ok for me
except for two issues. It would be very helpful for me if anyone could throw
some light on them. They are

1. Cannot retrieve some of the email IDs in the To, CC and BCC fields
from the
Item as Outlook.MailItem object. Instead of the email IDs I am getting
the name of the recipient. Eg. “Tom Cruise� instead of

2. The plugin is not trapping the incoming emails when rules are set for
them to
land directly into some other folder based on their email ID. subject or
other criteria.

Thanking you in advance.

Aninda

1) If by "email IDs," you mean the email addresses, iterate the Recipients
collection and get each Recipient.Address property value.

2) What event are you using for "trapping the incoming emails"?
Application.NewMailEx is your best choice.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

1. There are some emails which are stored in the address book with a name.
When emails are received from those clients, the object is returning the name
as fromemail instead of the email id. I tried iterating through recipients
collection but it did not work.

2. This is my code. I am taking the MAPIFolder ItemAdd event to trap the
incoming emails.

Earlier I tried with Application.NewMail but it did not work when multiple
emails were coming in.

Outlook.MAPIFolder oMapiFolder =
this.Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(Microsof t.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolder Inbox);
m_Items = oMapiFolder.Items;
m_Items.ItemAdd += new
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ItemsEvents_ItemA ddEventHandler(m_Items_ItemAdd);

what is the difference between Application.NewMailEx and Application.NewMail ?

Regards.

1) I'm confused now. Your original post talked about To, Cc, and Bcc
recipients, but now you seem to be referring to the sender. Which is it? In
what version of Outlook? What specifically didn't work? Show the relevant
code snippet.

2) NewMail tells you only that one or more new messages have arrived.
NewMailEx gives you the EntryID information needed to retrieve them. You can
read about the Application.NewMailEx event in the Outlook developer
reference and see a VBA code example at

Thanks for your reply. I am sorry I could not reply earlier.

1) I think I created a confusion. I actually meant all the email fields
ie., From, To, Cc and Bcc. Wherever there is a name for a particular email
address
in the local address book, I am getting the name instead of the email ID.

My function to get email ID against the name is as below:

private string GetEmailID(ref string recipientName)
{
string recipientEmailID = null;
string myQuery = null;
myQuery = "[FullName] = '" + recipientName + "'";

// Create the Outlook application.
Outlook.Application oApp = new Outlook.Application();
// Get the NameSpace information.
Outlook.NameSpace oNS = oApp.GetNamespace("mapi");
// Get the default Contacts folder.
Outlook.MAPIFolder oContacts =
oNS.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFo lderContacts);
// Get the Items collection from the folder.
Outlook.Items oItems = (Outlook.Items)oContacts.Items;
// Get the first contact item in the Items collection.
Outlook.ContactItem oCt =
(Outlook.ContactItem)oItems.Find(myQuery);

if (oCt != null)
{
if (oCt.Email1Address.IndexOf("@") != -1)
recipientEmailID = oCt.Email1Address;
else
recipientEmailID = recipientName;
}
else
{
recipientEmailID = recipientName;
}

oCt = null;
oItems = null;
oContacts = null;
oNS = null;
oApp = null;

return recipientEmailID;
}


and I am calling it only when


if (emailAddress.IndexOf("@") = 0)
{
emailAddress = GetEmailID(ref emailAddress);
}


2) I will definitely look at the resources that you have kindly shared and try
NewMailEx.

3) There is one more problem which I am solving in a rather inelegant way.
I am getting the sender's Email ID from Outlook in a form like:

/O=DOMAIN/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP/CN=RE/ou=abcd

if the email ID is - .

We are using Active Directory Service and all that I am doing right now is
taking
out the email name and the domain by string manipulation and getting the
email ID from
the database against that. But I am looking for a more proper solution to
this problem.

Thanks.
Aninda

Sue's on vacation.

I see a few flaws in your code.

First of all, in an Outlook COM addin, never create a new
Outlook.Application object. Always use the Application object passed to you
in your startup code handler or in OnConnection.

Second, that code will only look at contacts. If a recipient is from the GAL
then you never will find anything.

As Sue recommended it's really best to work with the Recipients collection
and iterate that. You said that didn't work but didn't provide any
information as to why. Each Recipient object has an Address property .
That's what you should be using.

When the Recipient is part of an Exchange domain you won't get back an SMTP
style address, you'll get back an Exchange DN type address such as your
example: /O=DOMAIN/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP/CN=RE/ou=abcd.

In those cases you would need to convert the EX address into an SMTP
equivalent. Since you never mention which version or versions of Outlook you
are targeting it's hard to be specific as to how you would convert the
address. Take a look at
http://www.outlookcode.com/threads.a...essageid=13469 for some
suggestions as to how to do that. Note that since you're using managed code
(C#) the CDO option is not available to you, CDO is not supported and should
not be used with managed code.

You can also search at www.outlookcode.com using something like "convert
exchange address to smtp" to look at other forum threads on that topic.
