How can I add an entry to the built in blocked senders list in outlook using code in the addin? Is this directly accessible without executing a ribbon command? To see the list I'm talking about, you must click the Home ribbon, then click on the Junk button then click the Junk Email Options option. In the popup that appears, click the tab called Blocked Senders. I would also like to know how to add to the list on the tab called Safe Senders. I can't seem to figure out how to access this via code. |

Hello David,
The Outlook object model doesn't provide a way to access these lists.

This is what I got working, including when multiple items are selected in explorer. Note there are some custom helper functions that I call, as well as an enumerator that I created. They are included in case it helps anyone.
Private Sub ksMoveToJunk_Action(sender As Object) Handles ksMoveToJunk.Action
Select Case GetActiveWindowType()
Case WindowType.Explorer
Dim comExplorer As Outlook.Explorer = OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer
Dim comExplorerCommandbars As Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBars = comExplorer.CommandBars
'check if there is more than one item selected
Dim comSelection As Outlook.Selection = comExplorer.Selection
If comSelection.Count = 1 Then
comExplorerCommandbars.ExecuteMso("JunkEmailAddToBlockedSendersList")
Else
Dim comMailItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim comInspector As Outlook.Inspector
Dim comInspectorCommandbars As Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBars
'loop through each selected item, display it, handle the inspector, and junk it
For intCounter As Integer = comSelection.Count To 1 Step -1
comMailItem = comSelection(intCounter)
comMailItem.Display()
comInspector = comMailItem.GetInspector
comInspectorCommandbars = comInspector.CommandBars
comInspectorCommandbars.ExecuteMso("JunkEmailAddToBlockedSendersList")
ReleaseCOM(comInspectorCommandbars)
ReleaseCOM(comInspector)
ReleaseCOM(comMailItem)
Next
End If
ReleaseCOM(comSelection)
ReleaseCOM(comExplorerCommandbars)
ReleaseCOM(comExplorer)
Case WindowType.Reader 'user is reading an email in an inspector
Dim comInspector As Outlook.Inspector = OutlookApp.ActiveInspector
Dim comCommandbars As Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBars = comInspector.CommandBars
comCommandbars.ExecuteMso("JunkEmailAddToBlockedSendersList")
ReleaseCOM(comCommandbars)
ReleaseCOM(comInspector)
End Select
End Sub
Public Function GetActiveWindowType() As WindowType
Dim result As WindowType
Dim comActiveWindow As Object = OutlookApp.ActiveWindow
If TypeOf comActiveWindow Is Outlook.Explorer Then
result = WindowType.Explorer
ElseIf TypeOf comActiveWindow Is Outlook.Inspector Then
Dim comActiveInspector As Outlook.Inspector = OutlookApp.ActiveInspector
Dim comDoc As Word.Document = comActiveInspector.WordEditor
Select Case comDoc.ProtectionType
Case Word.WdProtectionType.wdAllowOnlyReading
result = WindowType.Reader
Case Word.WdProtectionType.wdNoProtection
result = WindowType.Composer
Case Else
result = WindowType.Inspector_Error
End Select
ReleaseCOM(comDoc)
ReleaseCOM(comActiveInspector)
Else
result = WindowType.Explorer_Error
End If
ReleaseCOM(comActiveWindow)
Return result
End Function
Public Enum WindowType As Integer
Explorer = 0
Reader = 1
Composer = 2
Inspector_Error = 3
Explorer_Error = 4
End Enum
Private Sub ReleaseCOM(ByRef comObject As Object)
If Not IsNothing(comObject) Then
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(comObject)
comObject = Nothing
End If
End Sub

I updated my response above to include the working code I created, in case anyone else wanted to do something like this. |
