retrieve a list of all configured email accounts

[manojkurien]

Hi,

Is it possible to programatically access a list of all email accounts
that a user has configured in Outlook? I'm looking for details for
each configured email account including
User Information (Name, Email Address)
Server Information (incoming POP3 / IMAP, Outgoing SMTP)
Logon Information : User Name

Would this be possible (in a consistent manner?) across different
versions of Outlook? If so, how exactly would I go about it? Are there
any third party libraries like Redemption that I can use to achieve
this?

Thanks in advance,
manoj

Outlook 2007 has the NameSpace.Accounts collection to access all that
information. For prior Outlook versions, you need to use Redemption's
Profman library.

Actually ProfMan will list only MAPI based accounts, and POP3/SMTP are no
longer MAPI based as of Outlook 2002.
You can use RDOSession.Accounts collection (Outlook 2002 and higher) -

MAPI and non-MAPI accounts

Thanks for the quick reply, Dmitry.

So what I understand is that I can use Redemption's RDO objects to do
this for all Outlook 2002 and higher versions, and for older versions
of Outlook, I will need to use Profman. Is this correct?

Actually ProfMan will list only MAPI based accounts, and POP3/SMTP are no
longer MAPI based as of Outlook 2002.

Also, would it be possible to programatically add a new email account
using Redemptions RDO objects?

Nope. MS did not document the IOlkAccountManager pieces responsible for the
new account creation.
