Hello,

I've developed a COM add-in that works with OL 2003/07 in C# .Net 2.0.

When OL starts I need to retrieve the list of OL accounts available in the
current OL Profile. For each account, I need to obtain the associated
SMTP-format email address.

The code I have works well for POP, EXCHANGE, HTTP (hotmail), and IMAP
accounts. However, I found a MAPI type that I cannot resolve. This account
was created in OL when the user installed the "Google Apps Sync" add-in for
Outlook available thru their Google Apps Premier account
(https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gappssync). By the way, I say MAPI because
this is how Outlook displays it when the user opens the “Accounts Settings�
dialog (OL07) and the account is described as Type “MAPI�.

The code I have scans the Profile details in the registry for the
CurrentUser hive. I’m adding some details here in case it helps (I can add
more if needed). First I get the Profile details from the corresponding entry
in this key:
Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging
Subsystem\Profiles
And then I get the related subkey/value
9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676/{ED475418-B0D6-11D2-8C3B-00104B2A6676},
which gets me the final key where the details for the account are available
(typically “0000001� or something like that)

In this final account key I can access values like “Account Name�, which
retrieves the correct information, but compared to POP/EX/IMAP I cannot find
a value that will get me the e-mail address. For example, for a POP or IMAP
account I can get the “Email� value (along with “POP3 User� or “IMAP User�
correspondingly and other like that); for an EX account I get “Identity Eid�,
which gives me the Exchange id used later to retrieve the list of associated
SMTP e-mail addresses.

So, as I said, this works for all types of accounts except for this MAPI
account. Other than the “Account Name� value, none of the other values give
me something useful. Value names that I see in this type of account are “Mini
UID�, “Service Name�, and “Service UID�, but I cannot make any sense of the
binary data stored in these values.

Any hints on how to obtain the associated SMTP-format e-mail address of this
MAPI account?

Thank you in advance

Have you tried to use regmon to see where the date is stored after you set
it in the UI?

Hi Dmitri,

Thank you for your comment.

I was afraid that I was going to get that type of answer. I was hoping
someone had already been thru this.

Someone else suggested I should attempt to query the plugin itself (GSync in
this case). I have never done something like that. Any recommendations on
what interfaces it should expose in order to support basic Outlook
functionality?

Thanks again,

E

I would not go that route - if it s a transport provider, it would not have
to expose any data (name, address, etc) - all Outlook does is say "here is
the message, send it and let me know when you are done"
