i am trying to get the selected mail item on the click of a button and then i have to forward it to some fixed email adress ,i m very new to c# language,this is the function which i m using with my mailitem to forward
private void sendMail(MailItem mail)
{
mail.to = "myemailid#gmail.com"; //my fixed email adress
mail.cc=""; //removing any carboncopy users
mail.bcc=""; //removing any blind carbon copy users
mail.send();
}
this is working correctly but what happens is as i forward the email it is in my sentbox with to:myemailid#gmail.com,but it gets deleted from my inbox. i thought that it might be due the same instance of mail item i m using,so i tried using this code
private void sendMail(MailItem mail)
{MailItem newmail = mail;
newmail.to = "myemailid#gmail.com"; //my fixed email adress
newmail.cc=""; //removing any carboncopy users
newmail.bcc=""; //removing any blind carbon copy users
//++ some code for coping the attachments ++
newmail.send();
}
but this is also resulting in same situation..it gets forwarded but gets deleted from my inbox
I got my answer,anyway if someone other need this can use this :-)
private void sendMail(MailItem mail)
{MailItem newmail = Application.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem) as Outlook.MailItem;
newmail = mail.Forward();
newmail.Recipients.Add("myemailid#gmail.com");
newmail.Send();
}

void send_reply(Outlook.MailItem item, HashSet<string> names)
{
Outlook.MailItem eMail = item.Reply();
// want to open an email draft box for user to type in the email's content then return to the program here
eMail.Display();
foreach (string s in names)
{
eMail.To = s;
//MessageBox.Show("this is the guy we are sending to " + item.To);
eMail.Importance = Outlook.OlImportance.olImportanceHigh;
((Outlook._MailItem)eMail).Send();
}
}
Want to send a reply to a given mailitem but only to the email addresses specified in names. Issue I'm having is when I call eMail.Display() it only shows for like half a second at most then the draft auto closes and I send a blank reply email to everyone in names.
Anyone have any suggestions?
The Display() function returns immediately and makes your message to be sent empty.
You can wait by passing true to the function:
//...
Outlook.MailItem eMail = item.Reply();
eMail.Display(true); // <-- here
//...
This will make the window Modal and will wait for user to close it.
Maybe you have also to check if the user closed it without a text inside or have the intention to undo the operation...
To do this maybe you can check the message status or register a handler to one (or both) of Close (and Send) events.
What I have done so far is to connect to EWS, access my inbox, create an item (email) with some info in Body, Subject, From, and To, save it to the Draft folder, and finally move it to my inbox. It works, however, I get a draft in the inbox instead of an email.
Is it possible to get the message as an email with the above scenario and how can I achieve that?
Below is my code. Any input would be very appreciated.
try {
message.Save();
}
catch(Exception e21) {;
}
message.Load(PS);
message.From = new EmailAddress("someone#abc.com");
message.ToRecipients.Add("me#abc.com");
message.Body = "This is A test take 1";
message.Subject = "Testing to send as someone else...";
// add in the attachments......
message.Update(ConflictResolutionMode.AlwaysOverwrite); // require this here why????
message.Copy(theTempFolder.Id); // get the item as a draft in my mailbox instead of an email
}
catch(Exception e99) {
Console.WriteLine("Exception fail to connect to office 365 on the cloud: " + e99.Message);
}
You need to set the MessageFlags property https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/client-developer/outlook/mapi/pidtagmessageflags-canonical-property to 1 (before you call update) eg
ExtendedPropertyDefinition PR_MESSAGE_FLAGS_msgflag_read = new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(3591, MapiPropertyType.Integer);
message.SetExtendedProperty(PR_MESSAGE_FLAGS_msgflag_read, 1);
Which will then make the message look like it was received. The other way is just import an EML like https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/client-developer/exchange-web-services/how-to-import-items-by-using-ews-in-exchange
Have you tried to send it to yourself with either message.Send() or message.SendAndSaveCopy() ? see more here
I'm programming an outlook add-in.
I want to modify the mail before it gets sent. Therefore I have registered me for an event before the email gets sent. I can modify it but when I m trying to change the recipient of the mail (so mail.To) it gives me an error (not while my code is running but when outlook tries to sent the mail).
Error says: '...Can not resolve the receivername' (i have translated it so it is not the real error text but close to it)
Here is my code:
void Application_ItemSend(object item, ref bool cancel)
{
if (item is Outlook.MailItem mail)
{
var to = mail.To;
var body = mail.Body;
var editedBody = to + "#" + body;
mail.Body = editedBody;
mail.To = #"<another email>";
}
}
private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
//Register the new event
Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ItemSend += Application_ItemSend;
}
You are resetting all To recipients. Is that what you really want to do? Try to use MailItem.Recipients.Add (retuns Recipient object) followed by Recipient.Resolve.
You are also setting the plain text Body property wiping out all formatting. Consider using HTMLBody instead, just keep in mind that two HTML strings must be merged rather than concatenated to produce valid HTML.
You need to cancel the action by setting the cancel parameter to true and schedule re-sending operation with a new email address. A timer which fires the Tick event on the main thread can help with that task.
Also you may consider making a copy of the email, changing recipients (do any changes on the copy) and submit it. In that case you will have to differentiate such messages and skip them in the ItemSend event handler. To get that working you may use UserProperties.
Got it working:
var to = string.Empty;
mail.Recipients.ResolveAll();
foreach (Outlook.Recipient r in mail.Recipients)
{
to += r.Address + ";";
}
if (to.Length > 0)
to = to.Substring(0, to.Length - 1);
mail.Body = to + "#" + mail.Body;
//Modify receiver
mail.To = string.Empty;
Outlook.Recipient recipient = mail.Recipients.Add("<email>");
recipient.Resolve();
I want to forward an existing Email from my Outlook inbox folder. On recent research I found some different solutions:
get the current mail item and copy it to a new message
move method to move in a different folder
forward method...
My goal is to find a simple way to forward an existing Email to another E-Mail adress.
My code enclosed does not have access to send!
private void buttonExplorer_Click(object sender, RibbonControlEventArgs e)
{
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Selection mySelection = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveExplorer().Selection;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem mailItem = null;
foreach (Object obj in mySelection)
{
if (obj is Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem)
{
mailItem = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem)obj;
mailItem.Forward();
mailItem.Recipients.Add("test#web.com");
mailItem.Send();
}
}
}
Would be nice if there is a simple way to solve the forwarding event issue.
Forward() creates a new item, as stated here.
So you'll need to use that new item from then on:
var newItem = mailItem.Forward();
newItem.Recipients.Add("to.alt#web.de");
newItem.Send();
Try using Microsoft Exchange Web Service (EWS) to forward the email messages. EWS provides api for the commonly used events.
A sample code would like this,
// Connect to Exchange Web Services as user1 at contoso.com.
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2007_SP1);
service.Credentials = new WebCredentials("user1#contoso.com", "password ");
service.AutodiscoverUrl("user1#contoso.com");
// Create the e-mail message, set its properties, and send it to user2#contoso.com, saving a copy to the Sent Items folder.
EmailMessage message = new EmailMessage(service);
message.Subject = "Interesting";
message.Body = "The proposition has been considered.";
message.ToRecipients.Add("user2#contoso.com");
message.SendAndSaveCopy();

I am using visual studio 2017 installed office development pack,want to create a plugin which responds based on incoming email.
Basically I am tying to monitor an Infra support mailbox ,which forwards the email to concerned team based on the incoming message content.
Any suggestion on how this can be done
There are several ways for implementing the required functionality:
Use rules for setting up forward rules. You can do that manually in Outlook and programmatically as well. The Outlook object model provides all the required classes for that, see How to: Create a Rule to Assign Categories to Mail Items Based on Multiple Words in the Subject for more information.
Use the NewMailEx event for handling incoming emails. The NewMailEx event fires when a new message arrives in the Inbox and before client rule processing occurs. You can use the Entry ID represented by the EntryIDCollection parameter passed to call the NameSpace.GetItemFromID method and process the item. In the event handler, you may check the email received and forward the email programmatically. The Forward method of the MailItem class executes the Forward action for an item and returns the resulting copy as a MailItem object.
Sub RemoveAttachmentBeforeForwarding()
Dim myinspector As Outlook.Inspector
Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myattachments As Outlook.Attachments
Set myinspector = Application.ActiveInspector
If Not TypeName(myinspector) = "Nothing" Then
Set myItem = myinspector.CurrentItem.Forward
Set myattachments = myItem.Attachments
While myattachments.Count > 0
myattachments.Remove 1
Wend
myItem.Display
myItem.Recipients.Add "Dan Wilson"
myItem.Send
Else
MsgBox "There is no active inspector."
End If
End Sub
