How to set a contact's emailaddress1, emailaddress2, emailaddress3?

[ryotyankou via OfficeKB.com]

I want to update the contact's info or create new contact with emailaddress1,
emailaddress2 and emailaddress3. For new contact, i use IAddrBook::
CreateOneOff, it works great. But i don't know how to update the three
emailaddress, for example: user can set the following combine for three
emailaddresses.
1. None. No emailaddress will be set.
2. First only first emailaddress will be set.
3. Second //no need for explaination, right
4. Third
5. First && Second
6. First && Third
7. Second && Third
8. First, Second and Third
I tried to use SetProps and pass empty string in, the contact's emailaddress
will be empty, it's ok, but the associated entry in addressbook is still
there.
Do i need to DeleteEntries to remove it?
Another question, whether an IMessageStore can only have one Addressbook? I
don't quite understand the difference between GetDefaultDir and GetPAB.
(Default DIR and PAB).
Thanks in advance.

Are you setting these properties on teh IMailUser object returned by the OAB
address book provider or teh underlying IMessage in one of the contacts
folders?

IAddrBook::GetPAB returns the container used to keep the personal contacts
in.
IAddrBook::GetDefaultDir returns the entry id of the contains that is
selected by default when you open teh adderss book window.

Message stores do not have any address books. You are confusing address
books with one particular address book provider (OAB) that happens to use
IPM.Contact messages as a storage for its address book objects (IMailUser).

OK, i will describe how did i get the contact info.
1. Use IAddrBook::GetSearchPath get SRowSet.
2. Use PropFindProp check SRowSet for PR_ENTRYID.
3. Use IAddrBook::OpenEntry open the entry id to get IABContainer.
4. Use IABContainer::GetContentsTable to get contact table.
5. Then i get wanted items in table and save their entry ids.
......after some operation, for example, show UI, let user make choose, etc.
In a word, i use the entry id find here to operate the contact.
My code is describe as follow:
1. ISession::OpenEntry(entry id) to get IMessage. //here should make a
conversion from CONTAB_ENTRYID to ENTRYID, for the entry id i got above is
CONTAB_ENTRYID, right??
2. use IMessage::SetProps to set
lNameId[0] = PID_LID_EMAIL1_ADDR_TYPE;// or EMAIL2/EMAIL3
lNameId[1] = PID_LID_EMAIL1_EMAIL_ADDRESS;
lNameId[2] = PID_LID_EMAIL1_ORIGINAL_DISPLAY_NAME;
lNameId[3] = PID_LID_EMAIL1_ORIGINAL_ENTRY_ID;//Use CreateOneOff create and
get entry id,
IMessage::SaveChange to save item.
This is only work for create new emailaddress and update existing
emailaddress.
For example, use want to set:
1. Before set:
we have : (e-mail address removed)(emailaddress1)
we want to set it as: (e-mail address removed)(emailaddress1)
OK, we can update existing emailaddress.
2. Before set:
we have: (e-mail address removed)(emailaddress1)
we want to set it as: (e-mail address removed)(emailaddress1), (e-mail address removed)
(emailaddress2)
OK we can create new.
3. Before set:
we have: (e-mail address removed)(emailaddress1)
we want to set it as: (e-mail address removed)(emailaddress2)
That's mean we want to remove
emailaddress1.
ACTUAL RESULT IS: (e-mail address removed)(emailaddress1), (e-mail address removed)
(emailaddress2)
The code cannot work in situation 3.
In a word, i don't know how to remove existing emailaddress. Are we clear?

My purpose is quite simple, as there is a contact(See how did i get its entry
id in other reply of this post), I Create an UI, user can change
Emailaddress1, Emailaddress2 and Emailaddress3 for this contact on the UI. If
user clear any one of them, that means user want to remove it in addressbook,
otherwise create new or update existing ones.

IAddrBook::GetPAB returns the container used to keep the personal contacts
in.
IAddrBook::GetDefaultDir returns the entry id of the contains that is
selected by default when you open teh adderss book window.

books with one particular address book provider (OAB) that happens to use

Another questions, What's the difference between PAB and default
Directory?

So if you want to remove an address, you would need to delete the
appropriate properties from the IPM.Contact message using
IMessage:eleteProps().
