Hirenda, In your 2009 article, Read, Delete and send e-mail from Outlook with VB.Net, can you modify your program to read the SMTP Header file? Excellent article! Thanks,

  Hirendra, Perhaps I should have said Header Report. I would like to read my inbox (Outlook 2010) and select messages based upon the type of information normally seen in a Header Report, To, From, Subject, etc. Thanks, Henry

when I run this For Each newMail In InboxItems If newMail.UnRead Then Dim des As String = newMail.Body 'if u want to delete 'newMail.Delete() End If I receive an error Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{00063034-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)). I added Imports Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook = is that the wrong import?

  Hello Hirendra Thank you for the reply I have Outlook 2007 But I managed after much searching to find some code that does allow me to read emails Not sure yet if it is the solution to what I want to do http://www.eggheadcafe.com/tutorials/aspnet/7276bb32-88a8-481a-91aa-d4859ec8f58e/read-outlook-mails-and-se.aspx Trying to find the best way to upgrade a VB6 project and re-write in the VS2010 version of VB In VB6 you had the MAPI message control which allowed me to load the subject of unread emails into a data grid and then click on each row and read the email body without loading the email body into the data grid table Regards David

  I'm having the same problem as David. I'm using Outlook 2003. The error occurs during execution of the loop for gathering mail, and it seems to occur during every run of the loop. It seems to be some sort of problem rendering the message.

Has anyone found a good way to handle multiple version of Outlook on end-users machines? Say on our developement machines are running Outlook 2007. But end users may be running Outlook XP, or 2003, or upcoming 2010; How to put all these in our app? Seems easy if all developers as well as end users are running exact same version of Outlook, but more and more this in not the case and we are wanting to be sure our app runs on as many versiojns of Outlook out there...

  don't worry,above code can run on any machine with different outlook version outlook such as outlook 2003, outlook2005......there is need to add reference of current outlook on developer machine only.

How do I connect to a specific outlook mailbox when there are multiple mailboxes in the same outlook account? Thank you

  Hi, i think you are taking about in case of multiple custom folders we can do this in simple way Suppose we have a custom folder "hello" than we need to create instance of this folder like this Dim tempApp As Outlook.Application Dim tempInbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder tempInbox = tempApp.GetNamespace("Mapi").Folders.Item("Personal Folders").Folders.Item("Inbox").Folders.Item("hello")
