Let’s have fun with the object model and search folders: Outlook running a profile in online mode. Create this macro: Sub TestAdvancedSearchComplete()     Dim sch As Outlook.Search     set sch = Application.AdvancedSearch("Inbox", "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Keywords like 'Test'", True, "MySearchFolder")     sch.Save ("MySearchFolder") End Sub Run the macro, observe the folder. On the same machine, create

The May 2009 Release (build 6.0.0.1013) is live: http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com . The coolest new feature has to be the addition of Smart View parsing to the Hex Editor. I actually had the idea to do this the morning I published the March 2009 release, but didn’t want to delay that release any longer. One side effect of exposing the parsing in the Hex Editor is I was able to do much better testing of the existing parsing engine and fix a bunch of memory leaks and crashes. Here's a change list - see

When i working with the customer who is working with Exchange Server 2007, the discussion turned towards the Exchange Web Services. He is interested to create rules on Outlook using Exchange Web Services (EWS) and looks how to proceed on this. At the end of research, we found that it's not possible to create rules for a specific mailbox using EWS. In the similar way, it is not possible to view the rules that are set on a mailbox with the EWS. This happens due to when we work with EWS we can't access

Dan asked if I could post some CDO sample code he was working on. This sample script demonstrates a few interesting things: Dynamic session creation Accessing the associated contents table of a folder using HiddenMessages Looping backwards through a collection so deletion doesn't affect the cursor Accessing properties documented in the Protocol Docs (PidTagRuleMsgProvider and PidTagRuleMsgName) using CDO's Fields collection Ultimately, what this sample does is delete all Out Of Office related messages

The October 2008 Release (build 6.0.0.1009) is live: http://www.codeplex.com/MFCMAPI Better late than never right? I've been trying to refresh MFCMAPI every two months, but wasn't able to devote the time to it I would have liked with all the work I'm doing on the MAPI documentation refresh. I did need to get this release out the door though since the MAPI docs will be depending on it. This release is all about cleaning up the code. It's been a long time since I went through the whole project and

The first answer I give to customers asking for tips on making their store provider work with the latest versions of Outlook is "be well behaved". I've had a couple message store provider cases recently that illustrate this and give me an opportunity to expand on that statement and give some concrete guidance. The case of the missing search folders The customer's message store wasn't working well in Outlook 2007. Outlook would recreate it's persisted search folders every time it booted.

The August 2008 Release (build 6.0.0.1008) is live: http://www.codeplex.com/MFCMAPI I'm continuing to dig through the protocol docs (now on version 1.01). Last release was about getting the plumbing in place for Smart Views. This release is all about parsing structures, most especially, parsing for the recurrence blob on Calendar and Task items. Here's the change list - see the Issue Tracker on Codeplex for more details, or look at the code: Smart View: Added the following structures: Appointment
