How do I set the "To" address in a mailitem, this is my code below... The code works, I just cant see the email adress in the "to" box. If I send the email it works.


procedure TAddInModule.DoNewInspector(ASender: TObject; const Inspector: _Inspector);
var
IMail : MailItem;
Insp : TInspector;
begin

//New Mail Item
IMail := nil;
if Assigned(Inspector) and Assigned(Inspector.CurrentItem) then
Inspector.CurrentItem.QueryInterface(IID__MailItem, IMail);

if Assigned(IMail) then
begin

showmessage('here');
if FileEmail(IMail) then
begin

if length(trim(gsEmailTo)) > 0 then
IMail.To_ := gsEmailTo;
end
else
CloseInspector(Inspector);
end;

Hi Julian,

Try to operate with the Recipients collection of the _MailItem interface instead of changing the To_ property.

Hi Julian,

I am afraid in this case you will have to reopen the mail item to see the changes you have made programmatically.

Out of interest, does the Recipients collection also control the 'From' address? I'm trying to find out how to get access to a Mail Item's From address (the email address, not the Sender Name). Where does one get this information from?

Hi Myles,

No, the Recipients collection doesn't contain a sender email address. The SenderName, SenderEmailType and SenderEmailAddress properties are available in Outlook 2003 Object Model. In earlier versions of Outlook they can be accessed via Extended MAPI or CDO.

Thank you for the tip. Do you have any (or know of any) sample code in Delphi that will demonstrate how to access Extended MAPI or CDO?
