Send mail with different reply-to address – part 2

2 Comments

Like the in cu 400 used mailing .net assembly the one used in cu 397 has very basic functionality, assembly Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Integration.Office. So if you want to use additional properties like setting a different reply-to address or using as different sender address, it is needed write it’s own code using basic .net assemblies. In  part 1 of this series i showed how to send smtp mails with the opportunity to set a different reply-to address. In this part i who, how to get the same with oulook based functionalities.

for using a different sender address in outlook mails follow this post.

Send Outlook Mail with different Sender Address

4 Comments

For sending outlook mails one can use CU 397 and it works fine, if it’s ok to use the standard outlook profile as sender address (“From”). If you want to use a different sender address, then this is not possible.

To get that possibility let’s have a look at the in CU 397 used .net assemblies. There we have especially assembly Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Integration.Office. For most cases a nice little thing. But it delivers no possibility to set/change the sender address. So what to do?

Assembly Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Integration.Office.dll references (internally) the assembly Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook. So let’s have a more precise look on THAT assembly. There we have the typical from COM to .Net converted assembly with strange looking classes like Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass, etc. But … this class ApplicationClass contains a property Session and further a property Accounts, what means the outlook user profiles. Voila! We have, what we want, the access to the solution. Accounts.item(index) gives us one distinct account, which has the property SmtpAddress, means the mail address of an outlook account. This mail address we will compare with the given sender mail address for sending the mail. What else do we need? The possibility to assign the sender address. So let’s check the mail message class Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem. There we have property SendUsingAccount to set/assign the sender account. Ok then, let’s do it …

//local variables:olApp DotNet Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass.'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'olMailItem DotNet Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem.'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'olItemType DotNet Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'olAccountList DotNet Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Accounts.'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'olAccount DotNet Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Account.'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'olAttachmentType DotNet Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlAttachmentType.'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'fileName | TextsenderMailAddress | Textidx | Integer

Let’s say, we select the sender address from table “company information”.

senderMailAddress := CompInfo."E-Mail" // e.g. 'sender@test.com';olApp := olApp.ApplicationClass; // creates the outlook instanceolMailItem := olApp.CreateItem(olItemType.olMailItem);  // creates a new outlook mail message// find the selected outlook profile and set it as sender mailAddressolAccountList := olApp.Session.Accounts;idx := 1;REPEAT  olAccount := olAccountList.Item(idx);  IF LOWERCASE(olAccount.SmtpAddress) = LOWERCASE(senderMailAddress) THENolMailItem.SendUsingAccount := olAccount;  idx += 1;UNTIL idx > olAccountList.Count;olMailItem.Subject := 'subject text';olMailItem."To" := 'receiver@test.com';olMailItem.Body := 'This is the message.';fileName := 'c:\temp\test.docx'; // optional: file to attacholMailItem.Attachments.Add(fileName,olAttachmentType.olByValue,1,fileName);olMailItem.Display(TRUE); // Display the outlook window
