I am not sure what is has to do with the original question.

You would need to read the MailItem.Body property and parse it into multiple values.

Have you tried MailItem.Body? You need to be a lot more specific than that: what exactly have you tried?

Answer 6

Not success

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook

Application myApp = new ApplicationClass();
NameSpace mapiNameSpace = myApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");
MAPIFolder folder;
folder = myApp.Session.Folders["inbox"];
folder = mapiNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox);
foreach (MailItem mail in folder.Items) {
    string subject = mail.Subject;
    string body = mail.Body; // this will trigger the security warning...
    string senderName = mail.SenderName;
    string senderEmail = mail.SenderEmailAddress; // security warning
}

Answer 7

So the problem is the security prompt? See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=52 for your options.

Answer 9

Dmitri, Tsai Fon Jim:

Tsai Fon Jim posted this same question as an independent message that should now be visible in the Outlook for Developers forum. I'm going to split this discussion off the Answered question and TRY to merge it to that question.

@Tsai Fon Jim: PLEASE do not post unrelated questions to an older discussion that has been marked as "Answered". In forum jargon, this is called "piggy-backing" and is considered to be incorrect forum etiquette.

Answer 10

If you need to open the Inbox folder, use Namespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).

As Cindy already mentioned, create a new thread instead of hijacking an old one and please be as specific as possible when describing your problem.

Answer 14

I am sorry, because my VS2012 is not english version.

So I don't know to to explain this problem for you.

Did you work with this code? what Visual Studio version do you used?

Answer 15

So it cannot recognize the "Application" type? Change that line to

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application myApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application();

Answer 16

Still now working...

Do you have some sample to read outlook 2010 mail message?

Answer 17

Do you think, if it is possible.

I am use VS2012 + "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook" 10.0 version.....to read outlook 2010.

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook should be 12.0 DLL   right??

only 12.0 can read outlook 2010, maybe I guess.

Answer 18

That is not a valid C# code - you need to have a namespace, then the class, then the actual class variable declarations.
