Dear folks,
I am creating a program in VB .net to access the email address of the sender from the microsoft outlook folder. I can access the subject line when I write the following piece of code, However I don't know how to access the email address property of the person sending the mail? I tried "sendername" property , but didnt' work! Any suggestions would be appreciated. My code is below , for retreiving the subject.

cheers,

Ranjan


Dim Objapp = CreateObject("outlook.application")
Dim objns = Objapp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
'Dim objfolder = objns.PickFolder
Dim strName As String

Dim objselection = Objapp.activeExplorer.selection
Dim objItem As Object


For Each objItem In objselection

TextBox1.Text = objItem.subject

loop

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
