Hello,
I want to develop an C# application.
I have access to the web only on ports 80 and 8080 with my phone, so POP3 mail(port 110) doesn't work with pocket Outlook.
That is why I want to develop an application that retrieves messages with a PHP script on a personnal website (port 80).
With theses retrieved messages, I want them add to the pocket Outlook inbox.

I can add new messages with some fields(from, subject and body) but some fields are read-only such as "to", "received" and "bodyRaw"
Is there a way to set these read-only fields with InTheHand library ?
If not, is there a way to set these fields with some personnal codes ?

Sorry for my poor english.

The To property is a collection - so you don't replace it you Add() recipient items to it. If you want to manually set the received date use

Properties[MessageProperty.MessageDeliveryTime]

Remember to call Update() to save changes to the message store.

Peter

Thank you, "MessageDeliveryTime" and "To" fields work fine now.


I have two other questions.

First question :
I tried to add an attachment but I don't know what I forgot to make it work.

I tried this code :
          AppSession = new OutlookSession();
          emailsAccounts = AppSession.EmailAccounts;
          emailsAccount = emailsAccounts[0];
          emails = emailsAccount.Inbox;
          myEmail = emails.AddNew();
          ...
          ...
          ...
          myEmail.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(@"\Temp\mail2.xml"));
          myEmail.Properties[MessageProperty.HasAttachments] = true; // Or 1 ?
          myEmail.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(@"\Temp\mail3.xml"));
          myEmail.Update();
          AppSession.Dispose();

But I don't see my Attachments in the message.


Second question :

Is it possible to add a HTML message (Windows Mobile 6.1) ? ( How can I set the original message body ? I have to set the BodyRaw, the MimeText or another field ? )
For this moment, I can only set the content of a message with the "BodyText" property.

Inophage

 Hi Peter,

Do you think these fields can be set with inthehand or not ? [I talk about BodyRaw(or HTML body Message) and attachments]

Thanks,

Inophage

Attachments can be set but you must call the Update method to save them. You cannot set the BodyRaw property as this is written to a stream property and these are not currently supported by the Properties collection.

 I try again to add an attachment in an email message (Windows Mobile 6 Porfessionnal).

I add a new message in drafts folder, add attachment with an existing file and update the message. But when I open the message, I see the Attachment field, but this field is empty. Do I forget something ?

          email = emails.AddNew();
          AttachmentCollection Atts = email.Attachments;   
          Attachment Att = new Attachment(@"\My documents\My Pictures\Flower.jpg");
          Atts.Add(Att);
          email.Update();

          //Atts = email.Attachments;
          //email.Properties[MessageProperty.HasAttachments]     return true
          // MessageBox.Show(Atts.Count.ToString());   return 1    

 When I create with outlook a message with an attachment, attachment.name return "Flower.jpg",  and when I create a message with ITH with an attachment, attachment.name return "\My documents\My Pictures\Flower.jpg", it's strange, isn't it ?

 Can you give us a working sample to add an attachment with an email message, please ?

Best regards,

Inophage

 I found this sample in Microsoft site :

    Set objAttach = objAttachColl.Add ' add an attachment
    With objAttach
        .Type = CdoFileLink
        .Position = 0 ' place at beginning of message
        .Source = "\\server\bitmaps\honey.bmp" ' UNC name
    End With
    ' must update the message to save the new info
    objOneMsg.Update ' update the message
    MsgBox "Added an attachment of type CdoFileLink"

But we can't define the type and the position of an attachment.
