How to get the username property from outlook mail id

[MindReaver]

Hi,

I shall explain the process in detail so that you guys can get to know what is the problem and give me a solution.

i have to send emails to many persons in a single go. i need my mail to be a little personalised by letting the reciever of my mail show his name. eg: "Dear Thomas". so each person who recieves the mail should have his own name in that mail than the general idea of "Dear user". i am using Outlook and sending mails. How can i do this?

I would be greatful to anyone who throws light in this issue. Thankingyou before hand for spending time drooling over this and making ur cog wheels work for getting an answer to my query.

You can use MS Word to create a mail merge document and set the datasource to the outlook address book. Then you can send all the personalized documents with one "Go".

Tools-> Letters and Mailings -> Mail Merge

Hope it helps

using System.DirectoryServices;

root = new DirectoryEntry(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["DirectoryServicesPath"], @ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["DirectoryServicesUserName"], ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["DirectoryServicesPassword"]);

searcher = new DirectorySearcher(root);
