How to avoid the outlook popup warning when retrieving an MailItem

[Michael H]

I managed to retrieve an MailItem successfully having the EntryID
ahead of time using:


olApplication = new ApplicationClass();
olNameSpace = this.olApplication.GetNamespace("MAPI");


MailItem item = (MailItem) this.olNameSpace.GetItemFromID(strEntryID,
null);

string retValue = item.Body;



Of course, the Outlook warning window pops up. I've switched to trying
Dmitry Streblechenko's Redemption.DLL but haven't figured out the
exact way to get the MailItem from a known MailItem.EntryID value.

Every single example I have found, so far, deals with "creating" an
EmailItem and then manipulating its fields/properties. This has proven
to be useless so far. I'll keep hacking away at this but don't know
which direction to head next.

Thanks,

Michael

If MailItem is your Outlook mail item:

Dim safMail As Redemption.SafeMailItem

Set safMail = CreateObject("Redemption.SafeMailItem")
safMail.Item = MailItem

Setting safMail.Item assigns the MAPI object for the Outlook MailItem to the
Redemption SafeMailItem you create using CreateObject. From that point you
can access the properties and methods of the Redemption SafeMailitem.

Ken,

Thanks for reply. The whole problem is getting the actual MailItem
object without the popup warning. The only value I have at my disposal
is Email.EntryID value which is returned from Windows Desktop Search.
Currently, I use this value to ask Outlook to return the EmailItem and
voilà the popup!

I guess the popup warning was occuring on the retrieval of the
MailItem.Body
action and not the
NameSpace.GetItemFromID(strEntryID, null)
call.

So, I just set the SafeMailItem.Item to equal the MailItem returned
from the GetItemFormID and then retrieve the Properties of the Mail
Object and no Outlook Security popups occur.


Thanks,

Michael

Is "Redemption" provided by Microsoft as part of VSTO?
or is it some 3rd party library? paid or free?
