Hi

I'm trying to find the email adresses of sender and recipients and when email is internal, I'm taking addresses like "/O=ENTERSOFT/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=Thanassis.boukouvalas".

How can I find the smtp email address of recipient?

Hi Sergey

I've tried the above example and when I compose a new mail, the MAPI Initialization is failed. (only when I open an already sent email, example works fine). 


if (MAPI.MAPIInitialize(IntPtr.Zero) == MAPI.S_OK)
{
  //...
}
else
  throw new ApplicationException("MAPI can not be initialized.");


Can I do something about this?

Hi Thanasis.

I can't reproduce the error on my PC.
Didn't you change the code?

I didn't change the example.
I just run it.

I found a workaround for this.
I call MAPIInitialize, MAPILogonEx and OpenAddressBook at AddinStartupComplete and keep the addrBook IntPtr in order to use it all the other times I need it.

So, I don't have to call MAPIInitialize when I'm in the inspector of a new email and I don't take the exception anymore.

Maybe it's not an elegant solution but I overcome the MAPIInitialize failure.

(I've tested it with Outlook 2003, Exchange and Word as my e-mail editor)
