hi, all,

I want to get Email Address throught global contacts by using MAPI.

First, I create MAPI session, And get Address Handle, and then revoke
contact Handle and the revoke GetContentsTable to trace table content.

I set TAG Flag
SizedSPropTagArray( 5, sptCols ) = {
5,PR_ENTRYID,PR_DISPLAY_NAME,PR_ACCOUNT,PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS};

and use
PpropFindProp(pRows->aRow[i].lpProps,pRows->aRow[i].cValues, TAG_FLAG)
ervery tag works pretty well.
Only PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS,I can not get what I want to get.
It return:
/o=mycompany/ou=First Administrative Group/cn=Recipients/cn=jeff

What I want is jeff@mycompany.com

How to retrive this Email Address Property?

Thanks

You need to read PR_EMS_AB_PROXY_ADDRESSES -- that's a multi-valued
property which contains all the email addresses for the user. That list
will contain their SMTP address -- maybe multiple ones if there's more
than one that's valid for a person, so you'll have to decide which one to
use. The one which has "SMTP:foo@bar.com" rather than "smtp:foo@bar.com"
(ie SMTP is in uppercase) is the default one.

(you'll need to think about what you should do if they really do have
multiple addresses -- I'm "danielm@company.com" but also
"danielmitchell@company.com", both addresses will get to me, so which one
is the "correct" one?)

You could also try reading property 0x39fe001e, that's normally the
default smtp address -- though that property isn't documented so it may
not be 100% reliable.

Hi, Dan.

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried PR_EMS_AB_PROXY_ADDRESSES this property tag.
However it still does not give me what you wrote below.

I have tried 0x39fe001e, it works pretty well.
you have mentioned me that it is not docment -ed.
I am not sure that:is it some relative with Exchanger server version?

my Exhcange server is :2003
I have sseen some doc on google said:there is some difference with
version:5.5/2000 and 2003.
but they did not say the difference.

Currently, my project works.I will work my project on differen exchange
server version

Thanks again

What _is_ in there? Have you tried looking with outlookspy/mdbview?

I don't think it changes with server version, and I've never heard of
anybody having a problem with this -- it's just not documented so
"officially", it may not work. In real life, it seems to be fine.

That's always the best idea -- if you do find a situation where it
doesn't work it would be nice to know about it.
