I am very new to vbscript. My task is to create an excel sheet whenever the new mail comes in . I just want new excel and it should have only 2 fields Subject and Sender. That too only the most recent record .
Any help in this direction is really appreciated
To handle new mail items you can handle the NewMailEx event of the Application class or just create a rule and then assign a macro sub to run when the rule is triggered. The VBA macro should look like the following one:
public sub test(mail as MailItem)
' do whatever you need
end sub
Then you can automate Excel to get the job done. I'd suggest starting from the Getting Started with VBA in Outlook 2010 article in MSDN.

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 work with a document assembly program called XpressDox. I am looking for the parameters needed to add an appointment to Outlook 2010. The following application code which creates an Excel spreadsheet is being provided as an example. I wish to embed a similar code in a template that will create an Outlook appointment.
Sample Code:
«CreateObject(‘ExcelApp’, ‘Excel.Application:’)»
«CreateObject(‘Sheet’,‘ExcelApp:WorkBooks.Add.WorkSheets’,’Item’,1)»
«InvokeMethod(‘Sheet:Range(A1).Select’)»
«SetProperty(‘ExcelApp:ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1’,’Date’)»
«InvokeMethod(‘Sheet:Range(A2).Select’)»
«SetProperty(‘ExcelApp:ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1’,’2013-01-21’)»
«InvokeMethod(‘Excel.Application:ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs’,ExcelFileName)»
«InvokeMethod(‘Excel.Application:Quit’)»
Reference URLs would be appreciated.
The How to automate Outlook from another program article describes the basics. The following articles provide sample code and describe how to create an appointment in Outlook programmatically:

I'm developping an outlook addIn using C# and I need to get attachment id from redemption or RDO MAil.
how's that?
Thank you
Outlook attachments (unlike messages) do not have unique ids since they only exist in the context of their parent messages.
PR_ATTACH_NUM property is used to open attachments - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/cc841969.aspx.
But that property is not guaranteed to stay the same when a message is opened. More than that, the value of the PR_ATTACH_NUM property can differ depending on whether you retrieve it from the attachment table or from the attachment itself. Below is example from OutlookSpy (I am its author):
What exactly are you trying to do?
I was trying to replace attachment with a link in async callback method and I needed to detect which attachment to replace.
I used as flag the contentID of the Interop.Redemption.RDOAttachment Object and it worked fine, Thank you .
Problem : I am not able to find a solution to add a custom form field in outlook new mail window. I am using NetOffice and so far I have implemented to use user accounts from outlook.
Required guidance as how to add a custom drop-down button with custom text right under the send mail button.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

I believe that in net office you need to declare a variable to the MAPI folder relevant to the form you want to start altering, and then go through the folder's View collection. A good start that was done in VBA can be found here:
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?492714-RESOLVED-Outlook-Programmatically-add-user-defined-field
This link detailed the making of a custom field, and then adding it to the appropriate folder view default form. You can easily adapt the VBA code in the above link to NetOffice, since it uses the same methods step-through, such as
dim _outlookapplication as Outlook.Application
dim olNamespace as Outlook._Namespace = _outlookapplication.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
dim olFolder as Outlook.Folder = olNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olDefaultFolders.olFolderContacts)
dim olView as Outlook.View
Good luck!
I'm still a novice at QTP (still learning even the GUI) and I need to write this VB script under it:
Write a QTP script that:
Browse to Yahoo mailbox
Perform registration process to Yahoo if this is a new user
Perform log in to yahoo mailbox if it is existing user
Send new mail to valid Mailbox
Use English version for the yahoo mailbox.
Use only one action and Implement the code with public sub
procedure and unique Data table
for the test (don't use default
QTP Data table)
Any directions and/or suggestions will be gladley accepted.
Thanks
Well simple Record action did the trick, but there is no use of public sub procedure and unique Data table.
Is that called a valid test ? Is the only VBS code of this action is the code in the Expert view ?
