Outlook: Iterate mails and attachments

Hi, I have not bought the VCL yet and have the following question:

Is it possible to iterate throught all mail-(sub-folders, collect a list of all attachments with info in which mail they were, the attachment name and save them to disk?

Thanks,
Uwe

Hi Uwe,

Yes, it is possible if you need an Outlook add-in. If you need a standalone application you needn't our Add-in Express :-)

Please have a look at Add-in Express packages if you are going to ask us how to do this :-)

Can I access the "normal" object-properties of MailItem?

Are those somehow documented in your help-files?

We have integrated Add-in Express with the MS Office wrappers that are delivered with Delphi Professional and higher.

Are those somehow documented in your help-files?


No, we have documented Add-in Express but not Outlook. :-)

Ok, so I can get attributes like Subject, ReceivedByName and all the stuff from MS?

Yes as well as all Outlook objects published in the Outlook type library. Have you ever used Office wrappers?

I'm not sure, but currently I have a stand alone application in which I use something like

if Folder.Items[j].Attachments.Count > 0 then
begin
anzahlDerEMails := anzahlDerEMails + 1;
Memo1.Lines.Add('Folder:' + #9 + ParentFolderName + #13#10 +
'Betreff:' + #9 +VarToStr(Folder.Items[j].Subject) + #13#10 +
'Absender:' + #9 + VarToStr(Folder.Items[j].SenderName) + #13#10 +
'Eingang:' + #9 + VarToStr(Folder.Items[j].ReceivedTime) + #13#10 +
'Empfänger' + #9 + VarToStr(Folder.Items[j].ReceivedByName) + #13#10 +
'Id' + #9 + VarToStr(Folder.Items[j].EntryID) + #13#10 +
'ReplyTo' + #9 + VarToStr(Folder.Items[j].To) + #13#10 +
'Size' + #9 + VarToStr(Folder.Items[j].Size) + #13#10 +
// 'Body' + #9 + VarToStr(Folder.Items[j].Body) + #13#10 +
// 'HTMLBody' + #9 + VarToStr(Folder.Items[j].HTMLBody) + #13#10 +
'CC' + #9 + VarToStr(Folder.Items[j].CC) + #13#10 +
'BCC' + #9 + VarToStr(Folder.Items[j].BCC) + #13#10 +
'Anlagen:' + #9 + VarToStr(Folder.Items[j].Attachments.Count));



Now I want to have it all inside MS OPutlook and accessible with buttons etc.

As I see from your code you use Office Wrappers. Look at the uses clause in your unit. I think you will find a reference to Outlook2000, Outlook2002 or Outlook2003. :-)

That is why you will be able to use your current code inside an add-in on Add-in Express.

That's very good for me -- then I think I know how to work with your components.

There's only left the problem regarding V7.1-update since there seems to be a problem with the update for the German Delphi 7. Thus I didn't install (see my pre-sales mail).

As I answered you we do not support special setup packages for developer and professional subscribers but we have several special packages for our premium subscribers.
