I created several outlook groups and now I want to export them and import to my other Outlook account on another computer.
The exported groups are stored either as .msg or as .txt files.
However, when I send them to my other address and when I open a group, I get EMPTY message.
BUT if I send the contact to the e-mail address from which I created the contact groups than I can import them and I see all the e-mail addresses in the group.
Why does it not function in the other outlook with another e-mail account?
Can anyone help me with export import of contact groups? On google I haven't found either any solution nor any similar issue for this.
First, SO is for the programming questions. Secondly, save contacts in the vCard format or zip the MSG files first to prevent Outlook from converting them into embedded messages.

I've a big problem because some eml file that are imported in the customer repository (IBM ECM) and retrieve from IBM Content Navigator.
This client demand the opening of this kind of file to the operating system and therefore to MS Outlook.
It occurs only for some of the emails and, by exporting the email and opening it with a test editor, it becomes clear that the problem is due to a series of null characters placed as the last line of the body of the email (I've attached a screenshoot).
Is there a way to allow Outlook to view these emails correctly?
Thinderbird for example also opens these emails without problems but the custome cant use this client, only MS Outlook is permitted.
Thank you in advance

Found a very similar question here: Email aliases not returned as "To" address in logic app
TLDR: From within a logic app "When a new email arrives" trigger, How do I get the original alias that the email was sent to?
I have a logic app that creates a ticket based off an email sent to an outlook box. Now I want to be able to choose aspects of the ticket based off of whether or not the email was sent to the mailbox itself or an alias of the mailbox. The problem I'm having is that by the time logic apps gets a hold of the email, the alias address has already been replaced with the actual box's address ("alias1#place.com" -> "actualbox#place.com").
The actual mail in the inbox has the original email's alias information in the headers, but I can only get them by looking at the properties in outlook. I've tried to get the original "To" internetheader information both within logic apps (by exporting the email to blob storage and looking at headers there) and with the Microsoft Graph API. Sadly, the email exported by logic apps doesn't have the alias information and Graph API has pretty much every header but "To". At least one other person has lamented the lack of To
That said, the actual email still has the original alias information. Can someone help me get that information in logic apps without jumping through too many hoops? A many hoop solution is welcome if none other can be found though.
Use the Export email (V2) action from the Office 365 Outlook connector. This will give you the full message with original headers (including the actual To address)!
The flow here is, trigger on the incoming email, as you already are, then add the export email action providing the message id from that trigger to pull this specific email.
From there, you you'll have one big "body" property which you'll need to interrogate to find the To address.
Caveat on this though, it doesn't work when emails are sent between mailboxes in the same Office 365 tenant. Exchange Online will "helpfully" go, "I know that address... this is the address you wanted!"
What API are you using? In Outlook Object Model / MAPI / EWS, you need to retrieve the PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS MAPI property (DASL name http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x007D001F)
We arrived at a many hoop solution.
The "Primary" email box now has some rules that look at the internet headers mentioned above (Message -> Properties -> look for 'To:').
If it finds an alias there, it will put the email in a corresponding folder for each alias.
Then we have logic apps listening to each of the alias folders which will then send the email's information to the _Core logic app that does the actual processing.
I'm using ABAP in SAP to generate an appointment in .ics Format and Mail this. If I open Outlook the Appointment is always an E-Mail which has the appointment as attachment. But I want the appointment to be direct identified by outlook, so that I can react with "Accept" "Reject" etc. The Image below shows the E-Mail which is generated with the ICS Event Content. If I use Googlemail it works. Someone has an idea? I'm missing the RSVP Buttons
Try to save any appointment item in Outlook manually using the .ics file format. Then try to open that file from a hard drive. If it is opened correctly you just need to find the missed part/difference between two .ics files (generated by Outlook and yours).
The issue probably lies in MIME structure of the email that you are sending, not in the ics file itself. See Multipart email with text and calendar: Outlook doesn't recognize ics
I am creating an addin for Outlook.
I want to check some text on sending, but im not sure how to reference it
The text is in the image below and says “Attachment will be sent using...”
If the text equals the text displayed, i want to do something.
Thanks for any advice.
The Outlook object model doesn't provide anything for reading mail tips. But you may consider using EWS for getting mail tips. See Using MailTips in EWS to get the OOF (Out of Office) Status of users with C# and Powershell for the sample code.
FYI MailTips are informative messages displayed to users in the infobar in Outlook Web App and Outlook 2010/2013/2016 when a user does any of the following while composing an e-mail message:
Add a recipient
Add an attachment
Reply or Reply all
Open a message from the Drafts folder that's already addressed to recipients
To configure MailTips for mailboxes, external contacts, and distribution groups, in the Exchange Control Panel, select the mailbox, external contact, or distribution group, click Details, and then in the MailTip section, create the MailTip.
To configure MailTips for mail users and dynamic distribution groups, in Windows PowerShell, use the MailTip parameter on the Set-MailUser and Set-DynamicDistributionGroup cmdlets.
Regardless of whether you use the Exchange Control Panel or Windows PowerShell, two things always happen when you add a MailTip to a recipient:
HTML tags are automatically added to the text. For example, if you enter the following text: This mailbox is not monitored. The MailTip automatically becomes the following: <html><body>This mailbox is not monitored.</body></html>
The text is automatically added to the MailTipTranslations property as the default value. If you modify the MailTip text, the default value is automatically updated in the MailTipTranslations property.
Read more about that in the Configure MailTips article.
Using Exchange 2013 and Outlook 2013, I need to have two separated contacts with same email address. What I've seen is once I create a contact with an email address, for the second contact (even though I choose to create a new contact instead of update the existing one) Outlook merges two contacts details.
Now the question is, is this doable at all? Can I have two or more contacts sharing same email address but having isolated details?
In fact, I'm using ews managed API to do this programmatically, but that doesn't matter because same thing happens by using Outlook directly.
Update: Looks like Outlook 2013 by default links contacts with the same email address. And according to this post Office Community the only way to stop that is changing a registry key!
Now I wonder if it's possible to stop this from Exchange side.
You can turn off Duplicated detection in Outlook in the Option-Contacts, in EWS it shouldn't be doing any duplicate detection, if the contact is in the GAL then it will resolve it to the GAL address. Generally in this case your creating a OneOff Email address for a contact you can ensure that unique by using a different display-name when your create the contact. eg
Contact contact1 = new Contact(service);
contact1.GivenName = "Fred";
contact1.Surname = "Smith";
contact1.EmailAddresses[EmailAddressKey.EmailAddress1] = new EmailAddress("fred smith1", "fsmith#domain.com");
contact1.Save();
Cheers
