Hi Guys,

I managed to find these examples :

https://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=1&TID=2679

I am struggling to get them to compile in Delphi 10.3. I think its since the string types changed that may be affecting it, I will see if I can work my way through and update them but I wondered as these examples are quite old:

Are there any newer examples for VCL addin of attaining the senders email from within Outlook?

Hello Mark,

These examples demonstrate using Extended API in Outlook 2000-2007. In Outlook 2010+, you use the Outlook object model as shown in https://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2009/05/08/outlook-exchange-email-address-smtp/. Also check https://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?PAGEN_1=2&FID=1&TID=15618. Note that you can only use the Extended MAPI way with 32bit Outlook versions. The object model doesn't depend on bitness.
