Which version of Outlook do you run?

Outlook 2010 x32

[Pat11]

Another question: Does the directory/subdirectory you specified already exist?

Yes

[water]

Some other thinks to check:

Can you create a file in this directory by hand?

Could you try to create the PST in C:temp?

water, i'm having a memory lapse and i think you can help. once upon a time (recently) i suggested automating Outlook security popup by listing windows instead of detecting text, so it is language-independent. i also uploaded the code i used. someone suggested an improvement on it by detecting only pop-up generated by Outlook, thus minimize the list of windows to check

now i want to follow up, but i can't find it anywhere in the forum

Hello Water, I am using your example for checking the mail when it arrives and that works super.

Now I would like to read also the e-mail sender adres for a previously item, which is highlighted.

Obviouly I cann't use "oOApp_NewMailEx($sOL_EntryId)" (because its not a new mail)

Trying to use _Ol_itemGet doesn't work, because I don't know what the entryid or object form the mail is.

I searched the forums, but cann't find the answer.

With auto3info.exe I can see the e-mailsender adress, but I think there might be a better way?

(I'm using outlook 2003, outlook 2010 en outlook 201 with exchang server)

Do you have any suggestions?

[water]

Can't test at the moment. Should be something like:

$oExp = $oOutlook.ActiveExplorer
$oSel = $oExp.Selection
For $i = 1 To $oSel.Count
    MsgBox(0, "", $oSel.Item($i).SenderEmailAddress)
Next

Thanks water,

I only added  $oOutlook = ObjCreate("Outlook.Application") in the code and it works!

[water]

Use  $oOutlook = _OL_Open. This function handles all errors etc.

Hi, I have a script that downloads attachments from Outlook accounts for processing, but I have run into a problem, sometimes these attachments are themselves messages (they appear as .msg files after downloading)

How do I open them so that I can extract the attachments in those .msg files?

Thanks in advance for your ideas.

[water]

Use function _OL_ItemCreate and pass the msg file as template.

[Lavonio]

Thanks, I'll try that

Thanks Lavonio - You Rock

I have been trying to find a script for creating a basic Outlook User profile using the %username%

I have been fighting between CMD commands and AutoIT to get the best results. Any Tips mate.

Outlook doesn't offer a way to create a profile using COM.

You can create a profile yourself and then call Outlook with the corresponding command line switch (/importprf prffilename).

Thanks Mr H2O, 

Once again you have out done yourself.

Glad I could help

didn't find it, searched manually thru all the topics in Example Scripts & Help and Support, lost my sanity, not sure i found it again... anyway i found a different method to detect the security warning - instead of comparing lists, i'm checking for every window with "Outlook" in it if it has exactly 1 combobox, and exactly 4 buttons, if so then it's a security warning which i can acknowledge.

(PS ok i know that it's not that interesting, but it is more reliable this way. i will post the full code shortly, i didn't find it on my disk-on-key i think i left it at home)

[water]

Did you search for >this post?

[orbs]

Did you search for >this post?

 

yeah, that's it!

i will make some further tests, but currently it seems that the security warning is not recognized as a popup, not even by _WinAPI_EnumWindowsPopup()

in this subject i will continue to post in the linked thread.

water, you are the one!
