That *is* an actual email address, in the X.400 format that Exchange uses. If you want the SMTP address for an Exchange sender or recipient in versions before Outlook 2007, you can use CDO or, to avoid security prompts, Redemption and the PR_EMAIL (&H39FE001E) MAPI property to obtain the SMTP address from the AddressEntry object. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/ge...htm#redemption and http://www.cdolive.com/cdo5.htm#EMailAddressOfSender for examples. In ..NET languages, Microsoft doesn't officially support CDO and Extended MAPI. Redemption should work fine, and there are examples of using Extended MAPI, e.g. http://anoriginalidea.wordpress.com/...in-vbnet-vsto/.

See http://groups.google.com/group/micro...2fcbb691d5bf18 for a discussion of how to do it with Cached Exchange Mode in Outlook 2003 or later.

Hey Sue, my outlook is connected to an exchange server and when I get
the recipients, any internal recipient is show as "/o=CompanyName/
ou="domain"/cn=recipients/cn=username;" Do you know how I can get the

external emails but it would be nice to have email of internal
emails. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
