Outlook address book mail address

[jcpetu 1]

Hello all, I am trying to migrate some Outlook mail users from one address list to another. By now I managed to identify each address list and the corresponding entries, but I do not know how to get the mail address. I google to find out the object fields of mail address but even thought it does not bring mail address.

Below is what I have.

Any help will be appreciated.

$oOApp=ObjCreate("Outlook.Application")

If @error Or Not IsObj($oOApp) Then Exit

$NameSpace = $oOApp.getnamespace("MAPI").addresslists ;Address book

$AlistCount=$NameSpace.count ;Number of address lists

For $i=1 to $AlistCount

$NameSpace=$oOApp.getnamespace("MAPI").addresslists($i)

$oAdrsEntry = $NameSpace.addressentries

ConsoleWrite("Address list "&$i&"="&$NameSpace.name&"("&$oAdrsEntry.count&" items)"&@CRLF) ;get address list name & number of items

Next

$NameSpace=$oOApp.getnamespace("MAPI").addresslists(3) ; get access to the address list I need

$oAdrsEntry = $NameSpace.addressentries

ConsoleWrite("Name=" &$oAdrsEntry.item(3000).name & @CRLF & _ ; get info of particular entry

"Address=" &$oAdrsEntry.item(3000).address & @CRLF & _

"Id=" &$oAdrsEntry.item(3000).id & @CRLF)

According to the Outlook Object Model Reference property "address" represents the email address.

$oAdrsEntry.item(3000).address

If this doesn't return the information you need then you could use methods GetContact, GetExchangeDistributionList or GetExchangeUser depending on the value of the AddressEntryUserType property. You then have access to the corresponding Outlook item.

Example can be found here.

BTW: In my signature you can find a link to the OutlookEX UDF (User Defined Functions) which has a lot of useful Outlook stuff.

Thanks a lot water. I was testing the script under Win XP and other Outlook version and it works properly. It seems not to be working under Vista and Outlook 2007.

I appreciate your help.

Regards.

I have run into problems too with Outlook versions after Outlook 2002 (I was testing the OutlookEX UDF on Windows XP and Outlook 2002).

The next version of the UDF solves this problems plus adds functions to work with Address Lists.

If you like to test I can send you the pre-release code by PM.
