I'm trying to write a small Windows Mobile Professional 6.1
application in C# on the CF.NET 2.0 framework which accesses the list
of Notes on the device.

I can access the Tasks, Appointments, etc through the OutlookSession
object, but I just can't figure out how to get the notes. (I'm
talking actual notes, not the "notes" as part of a Task or
Appointment).

Any help on how to work this out would be gratefully received,

Cheers,
Tom

I've subsequently discovered than the Notes are held as ".pwi" files -
on my device in the "My Documents" folder.
And as they are Pocket Word documents (able to contain not only text,
but audio and images as well), it's not easy to extract the text from
them.
I believe there are 3rd party applications - but as this is just a
personal project, it's not important enough to bother with.

Instead I'm using the "notes" section of Tasks and using them
instead... not ideal, but does what I need it to.

Hope that helps somebody else in the same position.
