i'm stack with Outlook issue where i want to change Email Sender. I want to send all emails from Outlook with one sender. When i change sender from Outlook it works fine but when i change it from Outlook plugin it's not work. I'm using following code:
private void adxOutlookEvents_ItemSend(object sender, ADXOlItemSendEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item is MailItem)
{
MailItem mail = e.Item as MailItem;
mail.SentOnBehalfOfName = "UserName";
mail.Save();
return;
}
}
But nothing happens. I don't see any error or exception but email come to Outlook with old sender. Can you please help me with that?
UPDATED: The way how i fix it. We cant use property "SentOnBehalfOfName" Outlook handle it incorect. Except it you should use "Sender" property:
mail.Recipients.Add(mail.SentOnBehalfOfName);
mail.Recipients.ResolveAll();
var adressEntry = mail.Recipients[mail.Recipients.Count].AddressEntry;
mail.Recipients.Remove(mail.Recipients.Count);
mail.Sender = adressEntry;
Are you sending through Exchange and want to send on behalf of another user (do you have the permission?) or trying to send through a particular POP3/SMTP account (use MailItem.SendUsingAccount property)?

I've been struggling with this for a while now and I can't get an answer anywhere.
I made an outlook add in which has a ribbon and two buttons, The one button opens up a mailitem where you can compose your mail and then the 2nd button sends the mail.
In the background it takes all of the recipients and adds it to the bcc field and sends the mail in batches for instance if there are 100 recipients it will send to 25 people at time.
So my problem is that it works perfectly on the developer PC but the send button doesn't work on the end user PC. The add in loads registries are fine and it targets the right .Net framework everything!
private void CreateEmailItem(Outlook.Recipient strRecipientAddressTo)
{
string strFilePath = #"c:\temp\OutlookAttachments";
string[] strFiles = Directory.GetFiles(strFilePath);
bool bFileExists = Directory.Exists(strFilePath);
Outlook.MailItem eMail = (Outlook.MailItem)
Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);
Outlook.MailItem mailItem = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveInspector().CurrentItem as Outlook.MailItem;
eMail.Subject = mailItem.Subject;
eMail.BCC = mailItem.To;
eMail.Body = mailItem.Body;
if (bFileExists)
{
foreach (string file in strFiles)
{
File.SetAttributes(file, FileAttributes.Normal);
eMail.Attachments.Add(file);
}
}
((Outlook._MailItem)eMail).Send();
}
When the send button on the ribbon is clicked this method is called, but on end user the button just doensn't fire .. can this be permissions ? or any advice would be very much appreciated !!!!
It is hard to suggest there but did you add any logging there. There can be chances that you are getting some crash in following line..
email.Attachments.Add(file)
And thats why it is not reaching until send statement. You can check the event logs on user's system as well. They might help you.
I am stuck with a issue from 5 days.
I need a way to attain following requirement.
mailing list is present in Database(SQL server)
I have a mail in Outlook
now i have to send mail to all the 200,000 mail ids in Database
**Note one mail can have only 200 mail IDs so
200,000/200=1000 mails **Note: this 200,000 count is not fixed it will decrease and increase>
like jhon#xyz.com will be present today , next day we may need not send to him
his name might be completely removed (so DL is not an option)
I need a way to automate this
All i have a sleep less nights and coffee cups on my desk
I work in ASP.net any PL which meets this need is fine.
I assume that you know how to create sql statement for what you need and how to retrieve data from database in .NET. This means that only issue is actually sending this from outlook.
Here is an article that describes this in detail and piece of code copied from there.
using System;
using System.Text;
using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;
namespace OutlookAddIn1
{
class Sample
{
public static void SendEmailFromAccount(Outlook.Application application, string subject, string body, string to, string smtpAddress)
{
// Create a new MailItem and set the To, Subject, and Body properties.
Outlook.MailItem newMail = (Outlook.MailItem)application.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);
newMail.To = to;
newMail.Subject = subject;
newMail.Body = body;
// Retrieve the account that has the specific SMTP address.
Outlook.Account account = GetAccountForEmailAddress(application, smtpAddress);
// Use this account to send the e-mail.
newMail.SendUsingAccount = account;
newMail.Send();
}
public static Outlook.Account GetAccountForEmailAddress(Outlook.Application application, string smtpAddress)
{
// Loop over the Accounts collection of the current Outlook session.
Outlook.Accounts accounts = application.Session.Accounts;
foreach (Outlook.Account account in accounts)
{
// When the e-mail address matches, return the account.
if (account.SmtpAddress == smtpAddress)
{
return account;
}
}
throw new System.Exception(string.Format("No Account with SmtpAddress: {0} exists!", smtpAddress));
}
}
}
What I would suggest is to skip using outlook unless that’s really necessary and send email by directly communicating with SMTP server.
Just search for “how to send email from C#” or something similar and you’ll find a ton of examples.
I'm using Umbraco 4.6.2, and need to extend the default notifications it provides. For the sake of this question, let's say I am trying to add an "Unpublish" notification.
In \umbraco\presentation\umbraco\dialogs\notifications.aspx.cs it constructs the list of checkbx items shown to the user when opening the "Notifications" dialogue from the context menu.
I see that each Action has a ShowInNotifier property - how can I set this value to true for the UnPublish action?
Does this require modifying the core codebase, or is there a nice way I can gracefully extend Umbraco?
So after I have added this, users can subscribe to the UnPublish notification (am I missing any steps here?).
Will this automagically send notifications now?
I'm guessing not, so the next thing I have done is hooked the UnPublish event:
public class CustomEvents : ApplicationBase
{
public CustomEvents()
{
Document.AfterUnPublish += new Document.UnPublishEventHandler(Document_AfterUnPublish);
}
void Document_AfterUnPublish(Document sender, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.UnPublishEventArgs e)
{
var user = User.GetCurrent();
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(user.Email) && user.GetNotifications(sender.Path).Contains("UnPublish"))
{
//Send a notification here using default Umbraco settings, or, construct email and send manually:
string umbracoNotificationSenderAddress = ""; //How to get the address stored in umbracoSettings.config -> <notifications> -> <email>
//How to use the same subject/message formats used for other notifications? With the links back to the content?
string subject = "Notification of UnPublish performed on " + MyUtilities.GetFriendlyName(sender.Id);
string message = MyUtilities.GetFriendlyName(sender.Id) + " has just been unpublished.";
umbraco.library.SendMail(umbracoNotificationSenderAddress, user.Email, subject, message, true);
}
}
}
So the bits of that code that are not real/I need some pointers on:
Is that the correct way for checking if a user is subscribed to a particular notification?
How can I send a notification using the default umbraco settings? (e.g. generate an email just like the other notifications)
If that is not possible and I must construct my own email:
How do I get the from email address stored in umbracoSettings.config that
How can I copy the formatting used by the default Umbraco notifications? Should I manually copy it or is there a nicer way to do this (programmatically).
Any help (or even just links to relevant examples) are appreciated :>
My colleague got this working.
Create a class that overrides the action you wish to have notifications for.
You can see all the actions in /umbraco/cms/Actions
public class ActionUnPublishOverride : umbraco.BusinessLogic.Actions.ActionUnPublish, IAction
{
... see what the other actions look like to find out what to put in here!
In the overridden class, you will have a public char Letter. Set this to match the event to hook into. You can find the letters each event has in the database.
Set the public bool ShowInNotifier to true.
That's it!
I've got this working on Umbraco 4.7 by using the UmbracoSettings class:
http://www.java2s.com/Open-Source/CSharp/Content-Management-Systems-CMS/umbraco/umbraco/businesslogic/UmbracoSettings.cs.htm
umbraco.library.SendMail(umbraco.UmbracoSettings.NotificationEmailSender, newMember.Email, "email subject", "email body", false);
I'm using the below method to reply to mails coming in to a business function mailbox.
The body text being added is only intermittently being set. This method is only called when someone has emailed in to unsubscribe from a mailing but the email address of the sender (or in the body) hasn't been found in the database and we want to ask them to send us the mail address they want to unsubscribe.
private void replyToMail(OutlookItem item)
{
RDOSession session = new RDOSession();
session.Logon(null, null, null, true, null, null);
RDOMail thisItem = session.GetMessageFromID(item.EntryID, item.StoreID, null);
RDOMail reply = thisItem.Reply();
RDOAddressEntry optingout = session.AddressBook.GAL.ResolveName("optingout");
//reply.Sender = optingout; this had no effect
reply.SentOnBehalfOf = optingout;
reply.Subject = "Automated Response - Could not complete unsubscribe";
reply.Body = "This is an automated response from the Newsletter unsubscribe system. We couldn't find "+item.Sender+" in our database to unsubscribe you from our mailings.\r\n\r\nPlease reply to this mail and include the email address you want to unsubscribe.\r\n\r\nKind Regards\r\n.";
reply.Send();
session.Logoff();
}
Firstly, if you are already usign OOM, there is no reason to call RDOSession.Logon. You can simply ste the MAPIOBJECT property:
Replace the line session.Logon() with
session.MAPIOBJECT = item.Application.Session.MAPIOBJECT
do not call Logoff.
Secondly, do yo umean the message is received with out a body? Do you see teh empty bofy in the Sent Items folder?
I had to edit thingie.HTMLBody as well as thingie.Body.
I suppose I could have figured out how to tell when to set the value of each one but since I just want to be sure that I have control of the body in this instance I'm simply setting both.
My company requires me to use Outlook for my E-mail. Outlook does virtually nothing the way I want to do it and it frustrates me greatly. (I'm not trying to start a flame war here, it must do exactly what thousands of CEO's want it to do, but I'm not a CEO.)
I would like to be able to automatically extract the thousands of E-mails and attachments currently in my Outlook account and save them in my own alternative storage format where I can easily search them and organize them the way I want. (I'm not requesting suggestions for the new format.)
Maybe some nice open source program already can do this... that would be great. Please let me know.
Otherwise, how can I obtain the message content and the attachments without going through the huge collection manually? Even if I could only get the message content and the names of the attachments, that would be sufficient. Is there documentation of the Outlook mail storage format? Is there a way to query Outlook for the data?
Maybe there is an alternative approach I haven't considered?
My preferred language to do this is C#, but I can use others if needed.
Outlook Redemption is the best thing currently to use that I have found. It will allow you to get into the messages and extract the attachments and the message bodies. i am using it now to do just that.
Here is some code I use in a class. I included the constructor and the processing function I use to save off the attachments. I cut out the code that is specific to my needs but you can get an idea of what to use here.
private RDOSession _MailSession = new RDOSession();
private RDOFolder _IncommingInbox;
private RDOFolder _ArchiveFolder;
private string _SaveAttachmentPath;
public MailBox(string Logon_Profile, string IncommingMailPath,
string ArchiveMailPath, string SaveAttPath)
{
_MailSession.Logon(Logon_Profile, null, null, true, null, null);
_IncommingInbox = _MailSession.GetFolderFromPath(IncommingMailPath);
_ArchiveFolder = _MailSession.GetFolderFromPath(ArchiveMailPath);
_SaveAttachmentPath = SaveAttPath;
}
public void ProcessMail()
{
foreach (RDOMail msg in _IncommingInbox.Items)
{
foreach (RDOAttachment attachment in msg.Attachments)
{
attachment.SaveAsFile(_SaveAttachmentPath + attachment.FileName);
}
}
if (msg.Body != null)
{
ProcessBody(msg.Body);
}
}
}
edit:
This is how I call it and what is passed
MailBox pwaMail = new MailBox("Self Email User", #"\\Mailbox - Someone\Inbox",
#"\\EMail - Incomming\Backup", #"\\SomePath");
