OutlookEX UDF - Help & Support (IV)

[water]

I once had problems when I deleted a file from a ZIP archive and then added the latest version of this file to the archive.

Hey! I've been using this for managing some PST files and it works really well!
Can I use this UDF to automate adding new accounts to my outlook install? (ie the process that goes File > Info > Add Account)

[water]

Not that I know of.
But I think you can create/update a profile (*.prf) and then start Outlook using the /importprf command line switch.

Is there a way using the Outlookex UDF to set the retention policy to a Policy name that is defined by admins (Never Expire)

[water]

Give function _OL_FolderArchiveSet a try.

[HighlanderSword]

ok that set it a folder level, need to set it at the individual email level as folder level as policy runs that reset the folder level

[water]

I do not think this is possible on the mailitem level - just on a folder level. At least I couldn't find anything on the web 😞

[HighlanderSword]

ok, I will do some more digging , it can be done from the GUI by right clicking the email and the Assign Policy and the Retention Policy and you pick from the list

[water]

Not everything you can do manually by using the Outlook GUI can be done automatically via COM interface. Not every Outlook functionality is exposed via COM 😞

I probably should, but I just removed it completely because I only needed the messages received.

i figured out the issue.  the email had a png file for the signature.  was saving that with the zip file name.  doh!  thought id follow up in case anyone else had the same issue.

I am trying to get the subjects for the meetings I have scheduled on my calendar for the day.  Then I'd like to get the recipients for each of the meetings.

I thiiink i might be on the right path but not getting any results quite yet.  any leads would be super helpful! 

$oOutlook = _OL_Open()
If @error Then
    MsgBox(0, "OutlookEX UDF - _OL_ItemSearch Example Script", "Error running _OL_Open. @error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended)
    _Exit()
EndIf

$aResult = _OL_ItemFind($oOutlook, "*\Calendar", $olAppointment, "[Subject]='Meeting'", "", "", "EntryID,MeetingStatus") ;is there another field i need to get recipients? 

_ArrayDisplay($aResult)

$aResponses = _OL_MeetingResponseResults($oOutlook, $aResult[0][0])

_ArrayDisplay($aResponses)

thanks in advance!

I am on vacation right now, so it will take some time for me to reply. 

[gcue]

Np enjoy your well deserved vacation! 

[gcue]

not sure if you are back already - just want to see if i am on the right track

hope you had / are having a great break

thanks!

[water]

When using Restrict to find items it does an exact match. So in your example you would only get meetings with subject "meeting".
Use parameters $sSearchName and SearchValue to do an partial match e.g. "meeting" for "meeting with IT" and "urgent meeting".

To get the recipients call _OL_ItemRecipientGet for each returned meeting and pass the EntryID.

Add some error checking to your script for easy debugging!

thank you for your help

i am able to pull what seems all un-ended meetings with this syntax

$aResult = _OL_ItemFind($oOutlook, "*\Calendar", $olAppointment, "", "", "", "Subject,Start,End,IsRecurring,EntryID", "", 2)

i see several recurring meetings when they start and when they end.  is there a way to only pull meetings that are taking place on a particular day (ie: today)?  of course start and end date on a recurring meeting does not always mean the particular meeting is occurring on a given day

Use function _OL_ItemRecurrenceGet. The returned array holds the reccurence object in element 14.
Use the GetOccurrence method for today.

 

[gcue]

these are the properties i get for a recurring meeting using _OL_ItemRecurrenceGet.  I dont get a value for element 14.

 

$prop = _OL_ItemRecurrenceGet($oOutlook, $aResult[4][4]) ;entryid
_arraydisplay($prop)

$occurence = $prop[14]
$occurence = $occurence.GetOccurrence

msgbox(0,"",$occurence)
