Currently logged in user's email

Hi

We can get the current logged in user's name but is it also possible to get
the default email form outlook of the currently logged-in user as well? The
reason for this is that I need to email the users warnings from time to
time. As the system may be running by different users on different pcs, I
need to pick up the email of the currently logged-in user to send him/her
the email.

Thanks

Regards

I hope not while it is in my opinion hacking if you do that.

If you need that, than you can ask that (in your program) to the user, and
he can decide to give you that or not.

Just my thought,

I need the message to end up in user's outlook for record as there is some
information in there. The user can also forward this information if/when
needed.

PS: How is sending email to the user who is currently using the app hacking?
This is how the organization wants it to be so the user can double check
what entries he/she has done from the reminders that have come in their
inbox. This is a way to keep a check on what entries were made and also for
user's protection so he/she can provide these as proof.

John,

Sending mail is not hacking.

To make it possible to get an emailadres from a system is opening ways to
hack.

You are not the only one who does what you say.
The only thing is that the user gives than his email adres to you.
You don't get it from the system.

Even Microsoft does that, do you think that it would be very much work from
them to get it from the system as they wanted that.

As mostly the goods have to suffer from the bads.
