Manipulating Outlook Express Folders (both Mail and News)

Mike Sobeiski

Hi There!

How do I manipulate folders in Outlook Express (Not Outlook)? I need to read
messages in the mail folders as well as newsgroups.

I've search on the net but all I found is how to send mails using Outlook
Express. But what I need is to read messages :P

Please provide some pointers to VB.NET or C# example.

Thanks all in advance!

Basically the answer is You Don't. OE stores its data in a proprietary
format and doesn't expose an Automation interface. I believe some folks have
hacked the .dbx format. You could try a Google search, but don't get your
hopes up.
