Grabbing email addresses in Outlook

[Ma3x323]

HI,
Wondering if any of you can help me here. I am making a program which can grab all the email addresses in outlook. Meaning it will look through every single email and look at TO, CC, BCC and the body itself and find email addresses there. Then it would go to the address book and grab all email addresses there. Probably put it all in a text file. I am wondering how to do this. I don't know much about VBA but I'd like to know how this works.
If you think coding it in C++ would be better I would gladly appreciate your opinion, since this is supposed to be a console app program.

Thanks in advance

Function GetContactItem(strFullName As String) As Outlook.ContactItem
' This procedure returns an Outlook ContactItem with a FullName
' property that matches the full name passed in the strFullName
' argument to the procedure.
Dim fldContacts As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim objItem As Object
Dim strCriteria As String

' Use the InitializeOutlook procedure to initialize global
' Application and NameSpace object variables, if necessary.
If golApp Is Nothing Then
If InitializeOutlook = False Then
MsgBox "Unable to initialize Outlook Application " _
& "or NameSpace object variables!"
Exit Function
End If
End If

Set fldContacts = gnspNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
For Each objItem In fldContacts.Items
If UCase$(objItem.FullName) = UCase$(strFullName) Then
Set GetContactItem = objItem
Exit Function
End If
