Accessing Outlook 2003 Email Items

[David Hirschfeld]

I can't seem to find any good documentation that
illustrates how to write a VB.NET or C# application that
hooks into outlook, watching the inbox for newly received
mail items and then access properties (such as Subject,
Body, Sender, etc.) of these newly received mail items.
I am looking to build a system that indexes the
information from specific emails when they arrive. The
documentation seems to be very week on this subject or
I'm looking in the wrong places. I did figure out that I
needed to add a reference to the Outlook 11 library and
add
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
but intellisense doesn't work on any of the office object
as far as I can tell, so without any documentation, I am
a bit lost on how to monitor and respond to Outlook
events and how to identify the properties I need to
accessl.

Hi David,

From my understanding to your issue now, you can use
"Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook" namespace to find the Outlook-related
objects when you reference the Outlook 11 type library.

Fruthermore, I'd suggest this KB article Q287531 may help you some on this
issue. Please go to:

Furthermore, there is one tech article which will provide some assistance
