I wanted to create an account in standalone application like in Outlook.
Have gone through MAPI interfaces Click here! but can't find anything useful.
Also looked for the Account Manager Api Click here!
But here you can only view already added accounts. If you want to create account using Account Manager Api , it will prompt a dialog box for adding an account. Which is of no use for me because I want a code for the same.
Please let me know if there is any solution.
The parts of the IOlkAccount interface related to creating new accounts are not documented. You can use MAPI to add Exchange and PST accounts.
If using Redemption is an option (I am its author), it allows to add POP3/SMTP accounts using RDOAccounts.AddPOP3Account.

An administrator for a Microsoft 365 domain can create external contacts that are visible to users within that domain. Those contacts can be seen in the M365 Outlook client under "Directory->All Contacts" or "Directory->Default Global Address list".
I need to use EWS to read and create these contacts. As a first step I'm just trying to read them, using FindFolder, against MsgFolderRoot of a user. Unfortunately the only contact folders that show up are the ones defined for the user in question, not the external contacts created by the Admin. There are several contact folder classes that seem promising, such as "OrganizationalContacts" and "ExternalContacts" but there are no entries in those folders.
I could also use Graph for this if the capability is there. Any help on this problem would be appreciated.
Directory contacts exist in the Directory eg Azure AD or the local AD onPrem neither EWS or Graph can create these type of contacts then only thing automatable that can do that is https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/new-mailcontact?view=exchange-ps
For reading Directory contacts the Graph is a better option it has a supportable endpoint via https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/orgcontact?view=graph-rest-1.0. EWS can do this via FindPeople but it's not documented and requires that you know the addressbook guid which isn't available via EWS.
I'm trying to set up a google service account for Google Calendar API to create and update events for my specific calendar.
I've set up my service account, got the credential keys and also enabled the domain wide delegation. For most of the part it does work, however I can not access my specific calendar (not able to share it with my service account).
When I paste the service account email to the share textbox in google calendar settings it does not show anything to add.
This is a really frustrating blocker, so if anyone has encountered this or has any insights it would be greatly appreciated :)
You do not need to explicitly share your calendar with the service account.
If you want to create an event with your service account for your calendar, you need to set up your service account in such a way that it impersonates you.
The official Google documentation gives examples of how to perform Perform G Suite Domain-Wide Delegation in different languages. It is also important to do so in Apps Script.
Important: In your Admin console you need to Manage API client access and give the service account the necessary scope
(https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events) to create events on
your behalf.
I have ran into a problematic situation, which I really hope I can get help with.
I'm working on Jive Software solutions and we have a product that integrates Google Drive and Gmail.
This integration product was once part of a startup that was acquired by Jive and as such, the Google api project we are using for the integration belongs to a Google Account of a specific person which no longer works in Jive (we do have the credentials for the account though).
The problem is, that we want this account to be ours, i.e, a Jive software one.
So, one option I have, is to create a new account and replace the api account I'm using in the code to use the new one. This is bad, as it will break all the current authenticated clients, and will force them to take the oauth process all over again.
The other option I see, is to convert the existing Google account we are using to a jivesoftware one, so it will not be associated to any specific person but it will still be the same account.
Specifically I'm interesting in changing the Name and Email of this account.
Any suggestions of how we can achieve that?
A third option could be moving the api project to owned by another google account, but I couldn't find such an option in the UI, any clue?
There is no way to change a gmail address. You can forward all email to a new address with the name and email address you would like though.
This way you access all the email from an account that is a Jive software one but it is being forwarded from the old one still. However no one directly accesses the old one.
Check out https://support.google.com/mail/answer/10957?hl=en for more info.
According to the documentation, if you use Gmail with your Google Account, it's not currently possible to change your Gmail username after you've registered. with your username being the full email address you used to create your account. You can, however, change your nick name by going to https://myaccount.google.com and clicking Personal Info.
I'm working on ASP.MVC 3 web site and need to automatically create Outlook appointemnts, events, reminders etc from it. I've googled a bit and read some posts here and find the following options:
1) Create iCal files and ask users to execute them. Not acceptable for me because appointments can be created via Web Interface from any device (e.g. Android, iPhone etc) with no Outlook installed.
2) I'm not sure it can be realized, but if my users will login to my site via their domain password (SSO) will I be able to create appointment for logged in user via Outlook App installed on the server or via exchange server somehow?
3) Alternatively can I use some predefined exchange user that will create tasks, appointments and events in outlook for logged in used?
4) Any other options can be here?
On account of the fact that this works: http://w3mentor.com/learn/asp-dot-net-c-sharp/c-interoperability/sending-mail-using-outlook-in-c-asp-net/ and this works: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa168022(v=office.11).aspx then I would say that option 2 is definitely doable.
iOS 3 and above lets iCal files work, they don't on Android though, as you say.
I'm looking for a way to access Exchange 2003 calendars to add appointments. I'm hoping to use an admin account and impersonate each user to add appointments which i'm pulling from an oracle database. I've seen lots of examples for Exchange 2000 using cdox.dll which are exactly what I'm looking for but not an equivalent for 2003. I have Exchange management tools installed on the development workstation. Would I be able to download cdox.dll and use that?
Examples/links are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
This is the same problem I'm banging my head against....
You can work with calendars using webdav:
http://golemlab.wordpress.com/2009/09/13/php-owa-2003-calendar-fun/
But to impersonate a user you need an admin account with access to his calendar folder.
From what I understand there is no way to set defaults permissions just for calendars that are not created yet.
Also please note that the Calendar folder name is dependant on the user client language (ex: "Calendar" for a user with an english outlook, "Calendario" for italians).
You can set permissions on existing calendars using a lot of different tools:
pfdavadmin is a microsoft endorsed one:
http://www.itexperience.net/2008/10/22/set-calendar-permissions-with-pfdavadmin/
or you can try setperm:
http://www.amset.info/exchange/folderpermissions.asp
there are also some commercial products like folder permission manager:
http://www.symprex.com/products/folder-permissions-manager/
What I'd really wished was the possibility to set defaults calendar permissions on a server level , but this looks really not possible.
