Answer 2

Yes. But I get Recipient

What kind of info?

I need domain user name.

Try Recipient.AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser.Alias

Answer 4

Try Recipient.AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser.Alias

Alias consist of only user name without domain name.

Answer 5

Yes, Outlook only returns the contents of the PR_ACCOUNT property, which only contains the login name.

You can either use MAPI (C++ or Delphi) to retrieve the PR_EMS_AB_ASSOC_NT_ACCOUNT property and use it to call LookupAccountSid() or use Redemption, which exposes the RDOAddressEntry.NTAccountName property:

  set Session = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")
  Session.MAPIOBJECT = Application.Session.MAPIOBJECT
  MsgBox Session.CurrentUser.NTAccountName
