Outlook VBA retrieve 'Alias' from email address?

Hi,

Is it possible to retrieve the 'alias' of a user from their email address?

Kind Regards,

I think the questions is too broad - where are you getting the e-mail address from?

Enjoy,
Tony

Hi Tony,

Im getting the email address from outlook, I've created code that when I highlight an email and press my macro button it will extract the sender, body and title of the email.

I work in a big company and we are using exchange server. The alias is also the persons pc username, which I need to compare against a different system.

Thanks,

I guessed it was Outlook - I meant was it from an address book or an e-mail or what. If you look through the Recipients collection of the MailItem, I think the Name property is what you mean by alias. A caveat: I don't work with Exchange so that may affect things - I don't know.

Enjoy,
Tony
