getting at users outlook inboxes programmaticall y

[Mike P]

I am trying to get at different users inboxes programmaticall y (see code
below). It works fine, except for the fact that the logon line seems to
always logon to my local account rather than logging on to other
accounts on the network. Anybody know how to logon to other people's
accounts using this method?

//Create Outlook application
Outlook.Applica tion oApp = new Outlook.Applica tion();

//Get MAPI namespace
Outlook.NameSpa ce oNS = oApp.GetNamespa ce("mapi");

oNS.Logon("user ", "password", false, true);

//Get Messages collection of Inbox
Outlook.MAPIFol der oInbox =
oNS.GetDefaultF older(Outlook.O lDefaultFolders .olFolderInbox) ;

Outlook.Items oItems = oInbox.Items;

int intTotalNumberO fItemsInInbox = oItems.Count;

//Get unread e-mail messages
oItems = oItems.Restrict ("[Unread] = true");
int intTotalUnread = oItems.Count;

Logon takes a profile name as first parameter not a user name, the second parameter refers
to the password for the profile.

What do you mean by profile, I am not familiar with them?

Outlook is profile based and each user account has his own profile, a default profile is
automatically created at first outlook run.
If you need to connect to different mail accounts from a single windows session , you'll
have to create additional outlook profiles. Note that you can only connect using a single
profile at a time.
Check outlook help for details.

Can you tell me how to create profiles, and how to find out what my
default profile is?

Please consult "outlook" help and the numerous knowledge base articles (like this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/), the right procedure to create profiles highly
depends on the OS and outlook versions.
