how to read sender/receiver pop3 email addresses from outlook by using outlook object model

Question

I have configured my outlook with pop3 account. And i would like to read From,To email addresses using C# (probably outlook object model). Appreciated any pointers on this?

Do we have any msdn material to learn outlook object model for non-exchange account i.e pop3 or IMAPI4?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

Answer 1

Use the Application.Session.Accounts collection.

In your particular case, yo uwill probably need Account.CurrentUser property: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff869974.aspx

I am not sure I understand the question - do you mean you need to access a particular store/folder/message? Or are you trying to link a POP3 account with a set of messages?

Answer 5

POP3 (unlike IMAP4) is a message retrieval protocol, there are no folders.

Once a message is retrieved, it will reside in a local store, where it is pretty much (to an end user) indistinguishable from other messages.

Are you attempting to access messages currently located on a POP3 server? Or already downloaded locally?
