Processing Email Messages in .pst, changing email addresses

I am trying to process .pst files with years or archived email. Many of the

email messages came from backing-up email that I received on Microsoft

Exchange servers.

As a result, many of the messages have Sender, and Recipient email addresses

stored in "EX" format.

I would like to process these .pst files and change the "EX" email addresses

to some "SMTP" like string (and change the type to "SMTP") so that I can

import into gmail.

I can locate the message, I can locate the addresses, BUT all of the

Recipient objects are read-only.

I am not trying to send email as another user, or add other users to a

message; just change the TYPE and Email Address so that the import to GMAIL

(through IMAP) works correctly.

How do I go about doing this.

As a point of reference, here is some code ... Procedure below will

recursively process folders, assume that it is called with some top level

folder. I'm looking for code to stick in the place that has the comment 'Fill

in code here ...

Public Sub ProcessFolder(ByVal pFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder)

Dim lSubFolderList As Outlook.Folders

Dim lSubFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder

Dim lItems As Outlook.Items

Dim lItem As Object

Dim lMailItem As Outlook.MailItem

Set lSubFolderList = pFolder.Folders

Set lSubFolder = lSubFolderList.GetFirst

Do While Not lSubFolder Is Nothing

Call ProcessFolder(lSubFolder)

Loop

Set lItems = pFolder.Items

For Each lItem In lItems

If (lItem.Class = olMail) Then

Set lMailItem = lItem

' Fill in code here ...

End If

Next

End Sub
 
You would have to add new recipients with the desired characteristics and

remove the existing ones.

Awesome, I'll use that for To, CC and BCC. Can you help me with the

SenderAddress. I suspect that this technique won't work for SenderAddress.

Do you mean SenderEmailAddress? That's a read-only string property, not much

you can do about that.

Well, as it turns out, the suggestion re other recipients was also not

workable. In order to save the changes, I have to call lMailItem.Save which

promptly resets the dates on the message.

Of course you have to save any changes to make them persistent, and that

will change dates. There's really no way to change an item in any way

without changing various date properties.
