I seem to be getting some errors with the outlook.udf

C:\Documents and Settings\cstamand\Desktop\outlook\OutlookDemo.au3 - 4 error(s), 2 warning(s)

I was able to fix much of the issues. I added the With where it was suppose to go and local'd the variables properly. Is there a way to check for new email and read the title and subject?

I was in a little hurry last friday, I will correct the errors and submit an update.

Using _OutlookGetMail you can search for all mail in a folder, in the resulting array you can see which mails are unread, I can add a parameter to search for only unread if you wish.

I prefer not to use With - EndWith, If I have a Return in the middle of an With - EndWith, you will have problems.

Kickarse - errors corrected, and added a parameter in _OutlookGetMail to only return unread mails.

Will this work for all versions of Outlook?

[Wooltown]

I think so, have tested on 2003 and it works, but for some reason it is extremly slow, when reading contacts Outlook consumes 50% of the CPU

[faldo]

I can confirm that it works for Outlook 2007 aswell

Would it be possible to include the body and category of an appointment in the _OutlookGetAppointments array?

Thanx for a great UDF!

*Edit*

I solved the problem, i just replaced:

$avAppointments[$avAppointments[0][0]][4] = $oItem.AllDayEvent
$avAppointments[$avAppointments[0][0]][5] = $oItem.Importance

with

$avAppointments[$avAppointments[0][0]][4] = $oItem.Body
$avAppointments[$avAppointments[0][0]][5] = $oItem.Categories

the importance and all day-info isn't vital in my applyance.

Or you could increase the array and include more information.

Or you could increase the array and include more information.

Indeed... my suggestion would be to include more columns in the original UDF, if you have the time

[Wooltown]

I can do it, but do you wish to have more than Body and Categories ?

[faldo]

I'm creating a syncronisation-tool for the employees of my company so they can use the calendar in outlook to specify the time they've worked and then push a button to send it all to the economy/timestamp database, that way they don't have to enter the same info twice.

So in my specific case, those two colums would be enough

OutlookGetAppointments updated, new version uploaded !

I would like to check the mail and then save all the attachments to a directory and then delete the msg. Is this possible with this udf?

[faldo]

I suggest you try it out... if you get stuck, post your problem along with your code.

Yes it is, just check all the examples.
