I am using some sample code. I have a IMsgStore object. I need to call its
OpenEntry to get the IMapIFolder object of the type Outbox.

The sample code uses some sort of treeview to and enumfolders to get all the
folders. I don't want any visual control but want to do it directly. I am
not able to figure out the treeview filling and hence the question.

Thanks.

If you only need the Outbox, read the PR_IPM_OUTBOX_ENTRYID property from
IMsgStore, then use its value to call IMsgStore::OpenEntry.

Dmitry,

Thanks. It started working. There is a code to bring up the Outlook New
message form and it works now. Is it possible to put an RTF body and a
subject in this form? Currently, it comes up blank.

BTW, I looked up Redemption but don't know enough to find out if it will
work for me. I have a simple requirement. My application keeps RTF data. I
want to be able to bring up an Outlook New message form with RTF data
prefilled in the body and also a subject text of my choice. Also, will it be
possible to do the same thing with Eudora MAPI?

Thanks,
Sanjay

On the Extended MAPI level, you will need to set the PR_RTF_COMPRESSED_BODY
property (see WrapCompressedRTFStream on MSDN), then call RtfSync.
All of this is very easy to do in Redemption. Off the top of my head:

var Session, Message : OleVariant;
....
Session:=CreateOleObject('Redemption.RDOSession');
Session.Logon('some profile name');
Message:=Session.GetDefaultFolder(4{olFolderOutbox}).Items.Add
Message.Subject:='test subject';
Message.RtfBody:=YourRtfText;
Message.Display(TRUE); //make it modal

Amazing! Questions:

1) What happens if proper Outlook is not installed on the user system. Does
it give a message by itself?

2) Suppose the user uses some other email software instead of Outlook, for
example, Eudora that also supports RTF. Will it work with that too?

Thanks.

1. RDO family of objects only require the Extended MAPI system to be
installed, which is installed by Outlook, Exchange Server or Exchange Admin
Console.
2. Nope, Eudora does use or install Extended MAPI.
