Saving attachments from outlook express to Sql server table

[Guest]

Hi All,
I want to store all the attachment's name from outlook express to the sql
server database table using C#.
Is there a way around to do this.
Should i use the .psi files for that.
How could i do it.
Could anyone give me a hint, so that i can go to the way.
Thanks in advance.

You need to use MAPI and p/invoket to get access to the OutlookExpress data
(u can start from here

After that the way is trivial - get data from OE and save it in SQLServer

?? Outlook Express isn't an MAPI program and doesn't provide any MAPI
services. As far as I can tell, the only way to access Outlook Express
messages is through reverse-engineering its .dbx file format. I made a
web-page about this:

but it's all geared to C++/win32 programming.

No, OE *has* MAPI support, but unfortunatelly it's only Simple MAPI compliant

And if you google u can find the solution how to save attaches with Simple
MAPI.
