Getting From Address in Sent Items with Exchange

[Jim]

I am trying to get the From Address from an email in the Sent Items
folder (i.e. I sent the email) while using Exchange.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I can get the from address if the email is in the inbox, but not if it
has been sent from outlook.
Thanks

In Outlook 2003, you can use the MailItem.SenderEmailAddress, but note that it's subject to security prompts.

In earlier versions, there is no Outlook property that returns the sender's email address. You can either use CDO (or Redemption to avoid security prompts -- http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/) to get the From address or use Outlook to get the Reply To address. Sample code at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getsenderaddy.htm

To get the SMTP address from an Exchange sender or recipient, use CDO or Redemption and the PR_EMAIL (&H39FE001E) MAPI property to obtain the SMTP address from the AddressEntry object. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getsenderaddy.htm#redemption and http://www.cdolive.com/cdo5.htm#EMailAddressOfSender for examples.

Thanks Sue, using PR_EMAIL does not seem to work when trying to get the
from address with exchange and in the Sent Items folder. Have you ever
tried that?

 

[Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]]

Yes, it should work fine. Could you show a code snippet?

Sure thanks Sue,

int PR_EMAIL = 972947486;
object email = safeMailItem.Sender.get_Fields(PR_EMAIL);

email will be null here if looking at an email that I sent using
exchange, but it will work fine to get the Sender address for an email I
received.

Thanks

Thanks Sue for your continued help. Do you have any ideas on this ?
Thanks

PR_SMTP_ADDRESS is not available in the cached mode, but multivalueed
PR_EMS_AB_PROXY_ADDRESSES is:

PR_EMS_AB_PROXY_ADDRESSES = &H800F101E

If safeMailItem.Sender.Type = "EX" Then

ProxyAddresses = safeMailItem.Sender.Fields(PR_EMS_AB_PROXY_ADDRESSES)

for i = LBound(ProxyAddresses) to UBound(ProxyAddresses)

if Left(ProxyAddresses(i), 5) = "SMTP:" Then

strAddress = Right(ProxyAddresses(i), Len(ProxyAddresses(i))-5)

Exit for

End If

Next

End If

Thank you Dmitry for your continued help on this.
I have tried this. I am using C# so it is a little different.
int PR_EMS_AB_PROXY_ADDRESSES = -2148470814;
object proxy = safeMailItem.Sender.get_Fields(PR_EMS_AB_PROXY_ADDRESSES);

proxy here is null.

Any ideas?
Thank you

The tag is wrong. If you want to define it as a signed int, 0x800F101E
is -2146496482.
