Reading a sender's email address from Outlook

[garylafferty]

Hi,

I have got some code which will read the contents of the Inbox folder from MS Outlook, as follows:


var
outlook: OLEvariant;
namespace: OLEvariant;
folder: OLEvariant;
MailCounter: integer;


begin

outlook:=createoleobject('outlook.application');
namespace:=outlook.getnamespace('MAPI');
namespace.logon(EmptyParam,EmptyParam,False,True);
folder:=namespace.getdefaultfolder(6);

MailCounter:=1;
memo1.text:='';


while mailcounter<(folder.items.count) do
begin
MailMessage:=folder.items(MailCounter);
memo1.lines.add(mailmessage.sendername);
mailcounter:=mailcounter+1;
end;




and this works perfectly well. HOWEVER .... what I really want is the sender's email address (as opposed to the sendername).

I have tried using:

mailmessage.sender.address

but this returns an error message.

I have searched the Web for a solution to this problem, with no joy. Can anyone please help ? Thanks!!

Not very hot on this but it it could be

mailmessage.from.address

or

mailmessage.from

Not in a very straightforward way.
