%username%

is the system envoirent for the corrent user logon.

Your example script uses CDO. CDO is deprecated by MS so you need to install CDO on WIndows 7 and later.

But you still don't get what the OP wants. He wants the # of unread mails plus subject.

BTW: I suggest to remove userid/password from your example code

%usrname%

someone@someone.com

someone2@someone2.com

You need to use

SendMailFileConstants.au3

SendMailFileInclude.au3

Your example script uses CDO. CDO is deprecated by MS so you need to install CDO on WIndows 7 and later.

But you still don't get what the OP wants. He wants the name/mail address of the currently logged on user. Your username is hard coded.

BTW:

I suggest to remove userid/password from your example code

Can you please open a new thread for discussion of your script? This is the Outlook UDF thread.

The user posted here because he wanted a solution based on Outlook.

Thanks!

Can you please post the post number you refer to? I still don't get how the user I refer to (post # 152) should solve his problem with your solution.

You can do this either by searching for unread mails every x minutes/seconds or by waiting for a new mail to arrive and then handling this event.

What do you prefer?

Well, I'm think waiting for a new mail to arrive and then handling this event would be better in terms of resources handling. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Which do you think is the better approach? Also, does anyone have any experience with integrating AutoIT with Live Tiles?

The reason I'm looking for this UDF solution is because the default Mail Live Tiles from Windows 8 doesn't work well in a enterprise environment with exchange protocol. So I'm thinking if we can explore ways to make it like a live tiles and using the AutoIT way.

Event handling is the better approach in terms of ressource usage.

Examples can be found

Live Titles: No, Windows 8: No

Listed below is the Code I came up with to provide a list of all folder availavale in all open PST files.

Does any anyone have a faster way to accomplish this task ?

I have several situation where the user has 10 or more pst files open so this process can take any

where from 40 seconds or more to complete.

Func Folder_List()

Global $aPST = _OL_PSTGet($oOutlook)

$aResult=_OL_FolderTree($oOutlook,"*")

;~ _ArrayDisplay($apst)

;~ $aResult=_OL_FolderTree($oOutlook,$apst[1][0])

;~ _ArrayDisplay($aResult)

_ArrayDelete($aResult,0)

if UBound($apst) -1 >1 then

for $loop = 2 to UBound($apst) -1

$Tmparray=_OL_FolderTree($oOutlook,$apst[$loop][0])

_ArrayDelete($Tmparray,0)

_ArrayConcatenate($aResult, $Tmparray)

Next

EndIf

_ArraySort($aResult,0)

EndFunc

How many folders do we talk about?

[water]

I just tested and it takes 0.7 seconds to process 4 PST files with 286 folders.

Hi all,

ive just quickly bashed up the following script, which should take the data from the input and use it as the subject for the appointment it creates, but when i run it, it creates the appointment but with the subject as the number 3, anyone got any ideas?

#AutoIt3Wrapper_AU3Check_Parameters= -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6
#AutoIt3Wrapper_AU3Check_Stop_OnWarning=Y
#include <OutlookEX.au3>
#include <Date.au3>
GUICreate("", 285, 103, 290, 224)
Global $Inbut_Area = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 8, 32, 265, 21)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Question Text", 8, 8, 70, 17)
Global $Ok_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 120, 64, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
  Case $Ok_Button
   runit()
EndSwitch
WEnd
func runit ()
Local $oOutlook = _OL_Open()
If @error <> 0 Then Exit MsgBox(16, "OutlookEX UDF", "Error creating a connection to Outlook. @error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended)
Local $sCurrentUser = $oOutlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI").CurrentUser.Name
Local $sStart = StringLeft(_Nowcalc(),16)
Local $sEnd   = StringLeft(_DateAdd("h", 3, _NowCalc()), 16)
_OL_Wrapper_CreateAppointment($oOutlook, $Inbut_Area, $sStart, $sEnd, "My office", False, "Testbody", _
    15, $olBusy, $olImportanceHigh, $olPrivate, $olRecursWeekly, $sStart, _DateAdd("w", 3, $sEnd), 1)
If @error <> 0 Then Exit MsgBox(16, "OutlookEX UDF: _OutlookCreateAppointment Wrapper Script", "Error creating appointment. @error = " & @error & ", @extended: " & @extended)
MsgBox(64, "OutlookEX UDF: _OutlookCreateAppointment Wrapper Script", "Appointment successfully created '" & $sCurrentUser & "'!")
_OL_Close($oOutlook)
endfunc ;runit

$Inbut_Area contains the Id of the control. You need to use GuiCtrlRead($Inbut_Area)

Hello,

Is their a way to deternine if outlook is fetching email from pop3 ?

I want to process email after the scheduled retrieval has been comnpleted.

I can tell when new messages arrive, but havent been able to figuree out how to tell when it done receiving them.

So for an example , If i set up a procedure to monitor the new mail it fires for every email recevied, Once it determine its getting email

is their some object I can check in a loop to say wait for this object to stop processing, then i know the retrival of email has been completed.

Thanks

Paul

Thanks

What's the problem with processing mails as soon as they arrive?

[water]

With regards to my code for getting all of the folders in a pst , I have 20 open PSt folders and over 5000 sub folders in each.

This process tkaes about 2- 3 minutes to run.

That's about 100000 folders. I would suggest to create a second script to extract the folders to a text file and then read this file in a second script.
