Google MAPI account

[Esteban]

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

E

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"
