enumerate exchange email accounts

[spareway]

Hi,

I have a VS 2005 c# outlook addin that I have created. I need to
enumerate all email accounts for a profile. I have no problem reading
the registry to get the accounts. The entries in the registry for the
exchange accounts do not have an email address associated with them.
I have noticed that there is an Identity Eid key that has the
username. Is there a way for me to figure out the email addresses of
the exchange accounts from the registry info?

thanks,

craig

In Outlook 2007, use Namespace.Accounts colleciton. Account.SmtpAddres
should give you what you need
<plug>
In older version of Outlook, you can use the RDOSession.Account collection
in Redemption - see http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/rdo/rdosession.htm

thanks for the suggestion Dmitry. Unfortunately I am targeting Outlook
2003 and cannot use a com based library.
Are there any MAPI calls I can use to get the email addrtess for the
account?

thanks,

Keep in mind that Extended MAPI is not supported in the managed code.
If you need the identity of the primary mailbox, call
IMAPISession::QueryIdentity (wil return the entry id of the address entry
(IMailUser) corresponding to the current user),use the returned entry id to
call IAddrBook::OpenEntry, then read the PR_EMS_AB_PROXY_ADDRESSES property
to read all the proxy addresses (default SMTP address among them).
In case of POP3/SMTP accounts, use the IOlkAccountManager interface (you can
play with all of them in OutlookSpy).
