Reading and Adding E-mail addresses for a mail-enabled Active Directory User

I need to be able to read and add to the collection of email addesses for an
Active Directory User with a mailbox. I assume that this is a collection
object.
However I can't find any help on which technology to use. I can create and
access the properties for a user using
System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry and then create a mailbox using
CDOEXM.IMailboxStore which adds an e-mail address automatically.

There is an email property on the General tab of Active Directory Uses and
Computers User Properties MMC which is easy to access using 'mail' property
of a DirectoryEntry user object but how do you access the collection of
E-mail addresses on the E-mail addresses tab. There is also the question of
how to set the primary e-mail address.

In the Active Directory Uses and Computers user properties MMC you add a new
e-mail address, say SMTP, and which ever address is selected as the primary
address then appears as the 'mail' property on the general tab. I need to do
this programmatically.

Any suggestions where to start please?

Thanks

Hi Chris,

You may use proxyAddresses attribute for this. It is Multivalued.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Jeffrey

It was the term 'proxyAddresses' that I needed. I should be able to sort it
out now.
