Mail Item's Sender Address in Outlook 2000

[Richard Cooke]

Does anyone know how to obtain a mail item's Sender Email Address in Outlook
2000?

 

[Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]]

Open the item and double-click the address in the From field.

Thanks for that.

Is there also a way of obtaining a MailItem's Sender Address through VB code
in Outlook 2000?

In Outlook 2003, you can use the MailItem.SenderEmailAddress, but note that
it's subject to security prompts.

In earlier versions, there is no Outlook property that returns the sender's
email address. You can either use CDO (or Redemption to avoid security
prompts -- http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/) to get the From address or
use Outlook to get the Reply To address. Sample code at
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getsenderaddy.htm

To get the SMTP address from an Exchange sender or recipient, use CDO or
Redemption and the PR_EMAIL (&H39FE001E) MAPI property to obtain the SMTP
address from the AddressEntry object. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getsenderaddy.htm#redemption and
http://www.cdolive.com/cdo5.htm#EMailAddressOfSender for examples.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming
issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web
interface, at
