Do I need to release the PropertyAccessor object of a mailItem?

I am unsure if I need to release an PropertyAccessor object?

I would like to call functions on MailItem.PropertyAccessor and I am unsure if this is a regular COM object that should be released or not. The reason I am asking is because it is not released in the code seen here: https://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=5&TID=7475

It should be released. Not releasing that COM object is a mistake. I'll modify that post in a couple of minutes.

Just to confirm - I do NOT have release the below objects right because they are not real COM objects?

1. AddressEntryUserType. Seems to be a "property" that I can compare against, similar to an enum.
2. The GetProperty() part of "pa.GetProperty().ToString()". Since it is an "object" type, it is not a COM object and rather part of a regular .NET object that can be casted to a string. I understand I have to release the actual property accessor "pa".

These aren't COM objects. You can check this using Marshal.IsComObject().
