Recommended Posts

Hi again Water. You have helped me so mutch in the past so ive come to relay on your expertise in theese matters. As you probalbly know, im working on a mail archiving solution that uses outlook to dump all mail into a PST from a jornaling box. Evereything works great but sometimes there are hickups. So what i would like to do, is to check teh PST or any dublicates and delete them. No I was just wondering if you had any idees on how to do that. My idee for the moment is to use OL_ItemFind and get the HTML Body propertiy. Then compare every row in teh array, with all the other rows in the array. Since HTML Body is HUGE and we are talking about 100 000 mail in eatch PST. Thts probably not an option.

Im also wondering of there as any way to compare to PSTs and copy any mail thats not in the otherone and vise verse.

I know this is not an easy task, im just wondering of there is any way to acomplish this in under 6-8 hours. My current solution would take 2-3 days.

The current size of the mailbox can be taken from Outlook as described above. BTW: An exchange mailbox is never a PST.

If you can retrieve the maximum allowed size (quota) depends on the Outlook, Exchange and Windows version you run. Can you please provide this information?

we are expanding peoples mailbox's from 200 meg to 1 Gig, running exchange 2007 and Windows xp and/or 7.

Basically, I want to have a script to hand to people, so they can open it, and it will simply display their current mailbox size. :-)

I'll probably end up looping it, so, they can keep it open and see their values change 'near' real time.

Tjalve,

I would take Subject and ReceivedTime to identify a mail in your journal folder.

Take all mails (Subject,ReceivedDate,EntryID) from the journal folder and sort them by ReceivedDate. Take all mails from the PST (Subject,ReceivedDate) and sort them by ReceivedDate as well (make sure that when moving the mail from Exchange to PST the ReceivedDate doesn't change).

Then compare the ReceivedDate of first item from Exchange to the array of PST items. If the ReceivedDate of the PST entry is > the ReceivedDate of the Exchange Entry then the Exchange entry needs to be moved to the PST (then move to the next Exchange item). If < move to the next PST entry. If equal check the subject. If not equal move to the next PST entry. If equal move to the next Exchange item.

If the Exchange item has to be moved to the PST take the EntryID and move the item.

In this case you have to only process each item of the Exchagne array and the PST array once.

Just my 0,02$ worth.

Tjalve,

sure _OL_ItemFind has a sort parameter.

Tjalve,

something like this:

Hello,

I am trying to use the sendmail command and am running into some issues sending and email with an attached file. There is most likely something wrong with my syntax here but I'm not finding it.

;Generate the email message and attach the letter
Local $mySubjectline = "My Subject Line"
Local $myEmailBody = "My Message Body Here"
Local $attachedFile = "C:\test.jpg"

$oOL = _OL_Open()
_OL_Wrapper_SendMail($oOL, $mySalesRep,"", "", $mySubjectline, $myEmailBody, $attachedFile)
_OL_Close()

I'm guessing I'm missing a required parameter in the _OL_Wrapper_SendMail(). My format appears to be correct from what I was looking at in this thread:

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Before I am even calling the function I am getting a ton of errors in the OutlookEx.au3 at runtime.

I have

#include <OutlookEx.au3>

In the includes section of my script, and I copied the OutlookEx.au3 file into the includes directory as stated in the readme. Maybe I am missing something else. Sorry for the confusion.

A snippet of the errors I a seeing when trying to run my script are:

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\OutlookEx.au3(1160,20) : ERROR: $olJournalItem: undeclared global variable.
[$olJournalItem,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\OutlookEx.au3(1160,38) : ERROR: $olFolderJournal: undeclared global variable.

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\OutlookEx.au3(1160,52) : ERROR: $olMailItem: undeclared global variable.
[$olJournalItem, $olFolderJournal],[$olMailItem,

Let's say I have folder "Inbox" and It has subfolder "Subfolder". I need to put text of letters in "Subfolder" into the Array. For exemple $aArray[0] = "text of first letter", $aArray[1] = "text of second letter". How can I do it? Can you give me an exemple?

What do you mean by "letters"? Mail items? Attachments?

What do you mean by "text"? The mail subject, the body, the text of an attachment?

There are mails in the subfolder. I need to take their bodies into an array.

p.s I'm sorry. I think I have found worthy example:

$oOutlook = _OL_Open()
ConsoleWrite("_OL_Open: " & @error & @LF)
$Local_Folder = _OL_FolderAccess($oOutlook, "Path\Path")
ConsoleWrite("_OL_FolderAccess: " & @error &@extended & @LF)
$listofmail = _OL_ItemFind($oOutlook, $Local_Folder[1], $olMail, "[UnRead]=True", "", "", "EntryID,SenderEmailAddress,Subject,Body")

The first array $listofmail was made with with _OL_ItemFind. And the second array was made with this code

Local $aArray[5] = ["LocoDarwin", "Jon", "big_daddy", "DaleHolm", "GaryFrost"]

Why can't I put first array into Excel Book with _ExcelWriteArray function(error: array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded)? _ExcelWriteArray works OK with second array. Both arrays look the same to me. Any tips?

Can you please post the whole script? We need to know how you call _ExcelWriteArray and how you create/open the Excel workbook.
