Re: develop for OE 6?

Hi Vinz,

There are no "managed" classes to handle this for OE or WinMail. You are stuck with having to instantiate the interfaces from unmanaged code.

This will be true for Vista as well, but the contact management is now part of Windows and separate from OE (WinMail). See http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms735779.aspx

Hey Jim, thanks for your reply. it's much appreciated. The link doesn't work anymore though but when searching for 'OE', all the links that actually do work now redirect to Windows Mail in Vista. :-/

And I really wished there would be a develop newsgroup for OE but I didn't find any :-(

All the code examples that are shown on for example this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/outlookexpress/oe/overviews/account_entry.asp are in C or C++. Does anybody know if the same can be done in C# (.NET 2.0)?

Regards,

Vinz.

MSDN has some very limited information about programming for Outlook Express at this link, and it's not really much help. You just have to hack it to find out what works and what doesn't. But the bigger problem would be the programming hacks for the mobile device. Maybe ask in the PocketPC or mobile newsgroups?

And, in Vista, mail storage is quite different. There are no DBX files since mail is stored as individual EML files and the Contacts also have a new storage.

Your best shot would seem to be to ask your questions in a developer newsgroup.

Hey folks,

I have this mobile phone running windows mobile 2003 2nd edition and I'd like to synchronize the contacts and emailmessages with outlook express 6 (instead of Outlook from MS Office).

Using C# I'd like to write a little synchronization tool myself (I've been a Delphi developper for over 8 years now) but I dunno where to start. The only interface file I found was a header file for C/C++ and after some reading it apears that OE 6 is going to be turned into Windows Mail in Vista? What happens to the contacts from OE 6 then?

If anybody could point me in a direction that helps me to write C# code to sync between Windows Mobile and OE 6 I'd be very gratefull.

Thanks for reading sofar,

Vinz.
