We currently have an application that works with Outlook 2003. In order to
get the owner of a shared contact folder, we simply call:
Redemption.RDOSessionClass.GetFolderFromID() and then took that folder and
got the RDOFolder.Store.Name property.

However, when trying this with a shared contact folder in Outlook 2007, the
RDOFolder.Store.Name is null.

Everything still works fine for normal contacts and for contacts in
"Additional Mailboxes" that I've added to my account.

The approach mentioned in
http://blogs.msdn.com/mstehle/archiv...07/744798.aspx appears to work,
but I would prefer to not release a new version of our application unless I
have to.

Basically I want to understand why this is working differently and what I
can do, if anything, to fix this from the server end.

Have you tried to cast that store to RDOExchangeMailboxStore and use the
RDOExchangeMailboxStore.Owner.Name property instead?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes. That change also worked. However, that would also required me to
deploy a new version of the program. I am wanting to find a solution that
doesn't require a new deployment. I also want to understand why this exact
same code worked in Outlook 2003, but not in Outlook 2007.

If the PR_DISPLAY_NAME propety is not exposed by the underlying message
store, RDOStore.Name will return "".

A apologize, but I am a little confused. If I understand you correctly, you
are saying that PR_DISPLAY_NAME property IS being exposed when I run Outlook
2003, but IS NOT being exposed when I run Outlook 2007. Is there anything
that I can do to address this, or is this just something I will have to deal
with?

There is nothing you can do, this is just how the Exchange provider is
implemented.
Are delegate mailboxes cached in Outlook 2007?
