I tested reading mail from Sent Items with BP Mapiex Get Mail, but it only works with Inbox (default folder in action). Folder name is correct (I took it as I see it in Outlook).
Error message: Failure in Get Mail function of Blue Prism Extended
MAPI Automation. Failed to open sub-folder 'Sent Items'.
Would anyone have any ideas, what can help it work with Sent Items?
Thanks!
This is because Get Mail was configured to look in the Inbox only (and sub folders within the inbox). You can add a rule in Outlook to move the sent items to a sub-folder (then you use the Get Mail action), or add a new page in your MAPIEx object. If you go with the latter, you can proceed like this:
Open the MAPIEx object and duplicate the page called 'Get Mail', rename the page and the code stage to something else, such as Get Sent Items, then publish it. I did it this way:
Open the code stage and edit this line (line 17) so that it looks like the following, from OpenInbox() to OpenSentItems():
Editing the highlighted items is optional but preferable as it makes it easier to debug should there be issues. For instance, you would change anything that says Inbox to Sent Items.
From there you can call the action from your process just like you would call Get Mail.

I would like to create a Slack command /command do-something-with-that-file with at the same time, the user uploading the file.
So far, my command is received but there is no files in the payload.
Is this possible?
I have also added files:read in the scope but no luck so far.
A Slack command can only accept text as input. If you upload a file at the same time, it wouldn't be a part of the payload and will be ignored (although uploaded, and accessible through file browser).
Some alternatives you could try though:
Use files.list method - Look for files uploaded within a few seconds of the moment when you receive the command. The method accepts ts_from and ts_to parameters for this purpose.
Use file_shared event - Subscribe to this event in your app configuration. This event fires every time a file is uploaded in a channel visible to your bot. You could ask the app user to use a certain format to provide with a file upload, and look for a pattern in the event submission.
Use message shortcut - Once a user uploads a file, you can ask them to use the context menu to fire a message shortcut associated with your app. This message shortcut contains a reference to the message ID, which can be used to fetch the uploaded file.
inside a Outlook COM Add-in (C#) I was able to retrieve all selected mails inside Outlook like this
var selection = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveExplorer().Selection;
List<Outlook.MailItem> outlookMailList = new List<Outlook.MailItem>();
foreach (object mail in selection)
outlookMailList.Add((Outlook.MailItem)mail);
to store the selected mails with some meta data inside a DMS.
Now I would like to do the same with the Javascript API for Office (office.js).
What is the correct entry point here? Because when I select more than one mail inside Outlook the OutlookTab-buttons inside the default ribbon get deactivated.
see also http://bettersolutions.com/javascript-api/hosts/extensionpoint.htm
For retrieving the mail information I have found
selectedMail = Office.context.mailbox.item;
How can I get now the data for all marked mails in Outlook. I expected to have something like
selectedMails = Office.context.mailbox.items;
// OR
selectedMails = Office.context.mailbox.selectedItems;
Does someone know how to retrieve the information which mails were selected to the TaskPane or maybe a CustomPane? Respectively if it is even possible?
Thanks a lot.
Unfortunately Office JS API built for handling a single item. Handling multiple items is not possible.
If this is a new feature you want to include in the future, you may submit a feedback.

I'm writing an application where I have to send an email with an attachment using the default mail application.
Before the email is sent, I want the user to be able to edit the text, i.e. the application should just open the mail client with pre-filled recipient and attachment and give the user the opportunity to send it.
At very minimum I need the same effect I'd got if I selected "SendTo/Mail Recipient" from the context menu of the file.
Solutions based on the "mailto:" trick won't work as there are mail clients that do not support the "attachment=" part.
The most complete solution I've found is this one:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/3839/SendTo-mail-recipient
but it seems a lot of code for something so simple! (and also crashes when compiled with VS2008)
Is there any other option? It would be ok even if it was an external tool or script (e.g. a .vbs script to be launched with cscript).
I would advise you to use MAPI (Messaging Application Program Interface).
If dotNet can be part of the solution, here's a ready-to-use class in C# : Class for creating MAPI Mail Messages. It would give you something like this:
MapiMailMessage message = new MapiMailMessage("Test Message", "Test Body");
message.Recipients.Add("Test#Test.com");
message.Files.Add(#"C:\del.txt");
message.ShowDialog();
Otherwise, you can always do it in C++ if you feel confortable with it, like this answer suggest.
Then, you will be able to ShellExecute the binary executable and pass it some parameters.
Hope this helps :-)
I found this post, which seems to be an exact duplicate, but I can't figure out how to get the answer to work for me so I'm posting again...
TFS2010: Set up an alert that will email a member in the team when a work item is assigned to them
I want anyone (not everyone) using TFS to receive an email when they are assigned an item or when an item assigned to them changes. So, when the alert happens, the person who is currently assigned the item will receive an email.
I know I can set up this on a per-person basis with Alerts Explorer, but I can't figure out how to do this for everyone at once.
I looked at https://tfsalerts.codeplex.com/, but it looks like it's used to send alerts to groups of people...I only want to send the alert to a single relevant person (the equivalent of #Me). If this tool can do that, I'm not sure how to make it do so.
what you want to do is write a TFS Server Plugin. This plugin will fire whenever a certain event occurs. In your case, you will want to catch the WorkItemChangedEvent. In the notification, you will find old and new values of each field. By checking whether the assigned to field changed, you will know whether the WI has been reassigned.
Once you determined that the WI has been reassigned, you can take the New Value, and go to Active Directory (assuming you're using it), and get the email address. Finally, send a message.
For a code example of writing a robust server plugin (that happens to target the WorkItemChangedEvent, check out this blog post: How to Write a Robust TFS Server Plugin
When mailman receives a bounceback in a format that it doesn't recognize, it discards the message and sends an "Uncaught bounce notification" to the list administrator.
How would it be possible to define new templates or rules for mailman to process bounces?
For example, the message below is unrecognized by mailman, but is a common bounceback message from a particular domain that many of my list members are using. I would like to be able to have mailman process these automatically.
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you have sent could not be delivered to one or more
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address failed:
<user#domain.com>: 550 5.1.1 User unknown
You need to write a new bouncer class, eg. Mailman/Bouncers/MyMisbehavingSystem.py. You'll find this in your Mailman installation directory, which might be eg. /usr/lib/mailman/.
Have a look at the other files in Mailman/Bouncers/ for reference. It might be tricky, and I suggest taking a "if we are not absolutely certain, just pass" approach. And enclose your code in a try .. except.
Then, add MyMisbehavingSystem to BOUNCE_PIPELINE in Mailman/Bouncers/BouncerAPI.py.
Finally, please consider contributing the new class to Mailman sources.
