How to get smtp address of current Outlook store

Question

We have user with 3-4 shared email address in Outlook. I am developing add-in where it will extract the email address of selected store and will get it's contact folder from People.

My problem is I don't know how to get email address of SelectedStore. Here is my code.

            string recipientName = SelectedStore.EmailAddress; // This is what I want to make it work

            Outlook.Recipient recip = ns.CreateRecipient(recipientName);
            recip.Resolve();

            if (recip.Resolved)
            {
                Outlook.MAPIFolder folderContacts = ns.GetSharedDefaultFolder(recip, Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderContacts);
            }

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Answer 1

For the mailbox owner, you can either try to read the MAPIFolder.Store property to get to the parent store, then read the PR_MAILBOX_OWNER_ENTRYID property (DASL name "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x661B0102") using Store.PropertyAccessor.GetProperty. You can then use the store owner entry id to call Namespace.GetAddressEntryFromID. Once you have the AddressEntry object, you can use AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser.PrimarySmtpAddress.

Note that PR_MAILBOX_OWNER_ENTRYID property is only available in the online stores. You might want to use Redemption (I am its author) and its RDOExchangeMailboxStore.Owner.SmtpAddress property. RDOExchangeMailboxStore can be retrieved using RDOSession.GetRDOObjectfromOutlookObject(Store) or using RDOSession.GetStoreFromID.

You can also try to retrieve the store entry id and parse it - its format is documented and you can extract the EX type address of the owner. You can then construct the GAL entry id to open the AddressEntry object. From there, you can retrieve the SMTP address.

Just to let you know, I found the solution.

Outlook.MAPIFolder folderContacts = store.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderContacts);

should do the trick.
