Outlook Sender Address

[SprintFlunky]

I understand the need for the annoying message box that appears when you attempt to access certain fields when you programmatically send an email so I changed my application to build a new Mail Item and open it in Outlook. The user then sends it the normal way by clicking Send. Annoying, but it works.

On the receiving side, I have an application that monitors Outlook, grabs the email, and populates a SQLServer database.

All that works great. What I need to do is store the email Id from the person who sent email so I can send status updates back to the user. Any attempt to access the sender information initiates the “are you sure you want to allow this” message.

Any ideas on how to grab the senders address? I can place it as part of the text the user is sending to keep the receiving side from accessing that information, but the message appears even when they are the ones sending the email.

It works very well. Good Luck!

Have a great day!

Well, this brings up an interesting question.

My application will be running in a small workgroup and the EXE file is located each machine. Can I create a digital certificate to "authorize" the application's access to the Outlook fields.

As noted above, the application will need to send automatic notifications, through emails, to the users. The security that prevents me from grabbing the Sender name also prevents me from replying to, or sending new messages.

I have a manual workaround for this issue, but it sure would be nice if I could automate some of these steps.
