OutlookEX UDF - Help & Support

[benjbong]

Yeah, mine doesn't account for sub folders, folder type, or other users but when I fed the same parameters to _OL_FolderAccess I was getting the generic COM failure message instead of the expected outcome. It's possible I wasn't passing it correctly but I thought I would mention it to you.

[water]

I will check ...

How do you specify the name of the secondary user?

I have noticed that "Firstname LastnameKalender" works whereas "firstname.lastname@company.comKalender" doesn't.

[benjbong]

This was the call to _OL_FolderAccess I was making before

Global $cal = _OL_FolderAccess($oOL, "Secondary Sourcing CalendarCalendar", $olFolderCalendar)

It would fail unless I had full access permissions on the mailbox AND it was mapped as a mailbox in outlook. If i had full access permissions and disabled the automapping in outlook it would also fail. I don't have visual studio so I can't look at what the COM object looks like for either instance to be able to say what is different.

[water]

When you say that _OL_FolderAccess fails what is the value of @error and @extended?

[benjbong]

Sorry for the delay, the errors I was getting were @error = 1 and @extended = -2147352567 which were the generic COM error codes

[water]

@error = 1 means that parameter $iFolderType is missing or not a number. But in this case @error has to be 0.

Can you add

_OL_ErrorNotify(2)

at the top of your script so we can see which line throws the error? I assume you use version 0.9 of the UDF.

Hello,

Is it possible using thie Great UDF to create POP3 accounts ?

I have Suppor groups that have hyndres of Pop3 Email accounts, and when new resourcesare added

its a manual process to add these to the users outlook setup.

We have all of the details on setting up the accounts, I just have not been able to determine how this task can be automated.

Thoughts ?

Thanks

Paul

Unfortunately this can't be done with the OutlookEX UDF. You need to create a profile manually and start Outlook with command line switches to create the account.

Hello,

Can you please provide an example how to move an item from the inbox to a specfied folder in an PST ?

Thanks

Paul

[water]

Use _OL_FolderAccess to access the folder in your PST. Then use _OL_ItemFind or something similar to get the EntryID of the mail item you want to move. Move using _OL_ItemMove.

Every function comes with an example so please have a look at _OL_Itemmove.au3.

[HighlanderSword]

Thanks, I thought I would have to use a function that began with OL_PST_ in order to move items into that folder.

The recomendation you gave works Great !!!!!

[water]

Glad you got it working

Hi water!

again i´ve a short question about your nice utf.

Is it possible in advance to find out if a PST file is password protected or not?

I'm programming a tool to backup PST files. With OL_PSTGet I read the active PST files, then write them into an array, close them with OL_PSTClose, then backup it and open it with OL_PSTAccess again.

But if there is a PST-File with a password, the outlook-password promt appears and the loop is stopping.

i hope there is any chance. maybe with OL_PSTGet to check out, if the PST file is password protected or not.

thank you!

[water]

Not that I know of.

As described here: "Outlook Object Model has no Method to assign a Password to a PST-File".

There seems to be no way to pass the password by a script to open the PST.

[pax]

Found something in (i think) VB.NET.

I dont know much about programming, but it looks like the code is searching in CRC32-Cash of the PST-File if the passwordHash is not 0. Then it should be password protected.

/// <summary>
/// Determines whether the specified PST is password protected.
/// </summary>
private static bool IsPasswordProtected(PersonalStorage pst)
{
// If the property exists and is nonzero, then the PST file is password protected.
if (pst.MessageStoreProperties.Contains(MapiPropertyTag.PR_PST_PASSWORD))
{
long passwordHash = pst.MessageStoreProperties[MapiPropertyTag.PR_PST_PASSWORD].GetLong();
return passwordHash != 0;
}

return false;
}

Okay forget it.

Its from a pay component for .net called Aspose.Email for .NET...

[water]

Should be possible. This link describes how.

I will have a look and provide a sample code ...

[pax]

You are my hero!

DANKESCHÖN!

[water]

Bad news!

Unfortunately the code I found only works for managed code (.net).

The MAPI property tags I tried return an error and Google doesn't give me more information.

I fear I have run out of ideas
