Hi Spiros,

I understand you so that you need to get contact detauils for a recipietn (or sender) of an email selected in Outlook. I suppose that the following link provides the main part of the solution: http://outlook-buzz.com/outlook-contacts/AddressEntry-object-vs-Contact-object/0/article/0/34170

That is, you get Recipient.AddressEntry and then use the approach suggested by Ken Slovak to get the EntryId of the contact. To get the corresponding ContactItem, you use Namespace.GetEntryFromId().

Is this what you are looking for?

Hi Andrei,

I manage to do it using Eugene's example for restrict http://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2011/10/21/outlook-retrieve-contact-items/ 


    ns := self.OutlookAppObj.GetNamespace('MAPI');
    iFolder := ns.GetDefaultFolder( Outlook2000.olFolderContacts );
    folderItems := ifolder.Items;
    resultItems := folderItems.Restrict('[Email1Address] = "<email-to-find>"');
    counter :=0;mitem:=Nil;
     for i:=1  to  resultItems.Count do
        begin
            mitem := resultItems.Item(i);
            try
              contact := Outlook2000._ContactItem(mitem);
              inc(counter);
            except
              mitem := Nil;
            end;

            mitem := Nil
        end;
