How to find out owner email of an exchange item

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi All,

Given an item (e.g.message, task or appointment) say:

file://./backofficestorage/test.local/mbx/testguy/inbox/aaa.eml

or a folder say:

file://./backofficestorage/test.local/mbx/testguy/inbox/

I can easily guess the owner email address for these objects is
testguy@xxxxxxxxxx by parsing the URLs. However, I have a feeling this
is best method of doing so. If its an event trigging item I can get
this info by UserSID (thanks to Glen) but what should I do if I simply
want to open up an item in a regular program and find out its owner
email address?

I tried to open

http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/security/descriptor

of the folder

file://./backofficestorage/test.local/mbx/testguy/inbox/

and I got this owner block

<S:owner S:defaulted="0">
<S:sid>
<S:string_sid>S-1-5-32-544</S:string_sid>
<S:type>alias</S:type>

<S:nt4_compatible_name>BUILTIN\Administrators</S:nt4_compatible_name>

<S:ad_object_guid>{6b47ac53-fc2a-43af-b526-6ef9638ac737}</S:ad_object_guid>
</S:sid>
</S:owner>

which doesn't seems to give me any useful information for finding out
the owner's email address.
I tried to use

http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/security/creator
http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/security/lastmodifier

schema but it gives me my remote account name which I used to create
the testguy account and sent the last email to testguy@xxxxxxxxxxx

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Oscar
