EMail1Address and EMail1AddressType strangeness using Redemption

[Mark McGinty]

Greets,

When creating a new RDOContactItem, apparently references to
EMail1AddressType aren't valid until after EMail1Address is assigned? Also
I'm confused about what's taking place when I create a contact with an email
that exists in the GAL... And as I think of it, when the contact used to be
in the "Address Book" (that was/is based on the contacts folder.)

Trying to reference EMail1AddressType (in the course of assigning
Email1Address) I get EMail1AddressType is null or not an object. When I
open that contact and try to hand-enter the email, the check names popup is
displayed with the message, "Microsoft Office Outlook does not recognize
"54". (The number is always different for each given contact.") This
particular instance happened using POP3/PST. Using Exchange, the initial
attempt to create the contact was incomplete; I moved it to a folder; the
next attempt succeeded buy email type is "SMTP" not "EX". (The contact's
email is in the GAL.)

Could someone please help me to understand the interaction of these
properties and the "AddressBook"? In OOM the properties were merely
strings, but it seems like more is going on in RDO.


Thanks,
Mark

Addendum: the check names popup also occurs when Email1Address is assigned
programmatically while the Inspector is open. Also the successful creation
on the second pass thing seems to apply to non-Exchange accouts as well.

TIA,
Mark
