OutlookEX.au3 find and delete contacts with special selection

[Friedel2k]

Folder names checked.

[Friedel2k]

*\Gelöschte Elemente --> result with Filter = 0; without Filter = currently 4 --> thats right. I can reproduce it. Iam not sure - but no field can be selected / founded

What is the value of @error and @extended after _OL_ItemFind?

[Friedel2k]

in both cases no error:

If I use it with filter:

$aResultOutlookBestand = _OL_ItemFind($oOL, "*\Gelöschte Elemente", $olContact, "[nickname]='RecuraAutoImport'", "", "", "EntryID,FirstName,Lastname,BusinessTelephoneNumber,Email1Address,CompanyName,MobileTelephoneNumber,JobTitle,nickname,Title", "")
$iRowsOutlookBestand = UBound($aResultOutlookBestand, $UBOUND_ROWS) 
$iRowsOutlookBestand = ($iRowsOutlookBestand - "1")
;MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Title", "INITIAL: "&$iRowsOutlookBestand, 10)

_ArrayDisplay($aResultOutlookBestand)

No item gets found. And interresting: The array will not show up.

 

If I use no filter:

$aResultOutlookBestand = _OL_ItemFind($oOL, "*\Gelöschte Elemente", $olContact, "", "", "", "EntryID,FirstName,Lastname,BusinessTelephoneNumber,Email1Address,CompanyName,MobileTelephoneNumber,JobTitle,nickname,Title", "")
$iRowsOutlookBestand = UBound($aResultOutlookBestand, $UBOUND_ROWS)
$iRowsOutlookBestand = ($iRowsOutlookBestand - "1")
;MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Title", "INITIAL: "&$iRowsOutlookBestand, 10)

_ArrayDisplay($aResultOutlookBestand)

The Items gets found and the array shows up.

 

in both cases autoit ends correct:
 

+>Setting Hotkeys...--> Press Ctrl+Alt+Break to Restart or Ctrl+BREAK to Stop.
+>10:10:48 AutoIt3.exe ended.rc:0
+>10:10:48 AutoIt3Wrapper Finished.
>Exit code: 0    Time: 40.35

Add a

ConsoleWrite("@error: " & @error & " - @extended: " & @extended)

after the find command.

My mistake:

 

@error: 5 - @extended: -2147352567

regarding OutlookEX.au3:

;                  |5 - Error filtering items. @extended is set to the COM error

 

[water]

The value of @extended is 0x8002000a which means: DISP_E_OVERFLOW - Out of present range.

Could you please try:

$aResultOutlookBestand = _OL_ItemFind($oOL, "*\Gelöschte Elemente", $olContact, '[NickName]="RecuraAutoImport"', "", "", "EntryID,FirstName,Lastname,BusinessTelephoneNumber,Email1Address,CompanyName,MobileTelephoneNumber,JobTitle,NickName,Title", "")

same errror. But: if I try the field subject - I get an result. I try other fields. Maybe some fields not searchable from deleted items or not accessable. I will try...

[Friedel2k]

Wow great: Some fields are translated and some not.

So I have so "try" if the field is nativ EN or if there is an translation. For example subject in germen "betreff" - translated full.

Nickname is not translatet....
Now I get results like expected. I try now to delete the contacts "directly"

Please have a look at the MS docu , scroll down to the end of the page and make sure that "Deutsch" is selected. Click on "Eigenschaften" and you will see that a few properties get translated and the rest remains in English. I'm not sure this is done by the help page only or in Outlook as well. Never heard about it.

In addition you will see that Outlook doesn't support every property with the Restrict method used in _OL_ItemFind.

Outlook is picky about the property names. "Nickname" is wrong "NickName" is correct.

You will find more details about searching on this page. The Restrict method you use is described as Jet Query.
