How to read Outlook Inbox mails using openxml

Question

Hello,

I have an ASP.NET Server Application and I need to read Outlook messages from it. I read that Microsoft recommends using Office from a server by working with the Open XML format and not the Outlook API. Can someone please give me a sample of how to do that?

I'm getting below exception,

Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80010001 Call was rejected by callee. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010001 (RPC_E_CALL_REJECTED)).

the service is running on my machine but fails to run on server or any other machine. I feel that service might require some permission, if so please let me know how to assign permissions to windows service.

Please advice asap.

Thanks.

Hi sanjeev.sharma,

Open xml can't handle email's issue. It only handle WordproessingDocument, SpreadsheetDocument, PresentationDocument.
