How to retrieve CC email address from MS outlook 2010?

Question

I am using below code to retrieve the different mail parameter from MS outlook 2010. but I am not able to get CC email address. CC property of MailItem class is returning Name, not email address.

            NameSpace _nameSpace;
            ApplicationClass _app;
            _app = new ApplicationClass();
            _nameSpace = _app.GetNamespace("MAPI");
            object o = _nameSpace.GetItemFromID(EntryIDCollection);
            MailItem Item = (MailItem)o;
            string HTMLbpdyTest = Item.HTMLBody;
            CreationTime = Convert.ToString(Item.CreationTime);
            strEmailSenderEmailIdMAPI = Convert.ToString(Item.SenderEmailAddress);
            strEmailSenderName = Item.SenderName;
            Subject = Item.Subject;
            string CCEmailAddress = Item.CC;

Please suggest, how can I get CC email addresses?

Answer 1

Loop through the MailItem.Recipients collection and for each Recipient object check its Type property; olCC is what you want. You can then read the Recipient.Address property.

EDIT: Off the top of my head.

foreach (Recipient recip in Item.Recipients)
{
  if (recip.Type == OlMailRecipientType.olCC)
  {
    if (CCEmailAddress.length > 0) CCEmailAddress += ";";
    CCEmailAddress += recip.Address;
  }
}

I was inspired by @Dmitry's answer and tried a few things on my own to have these lines of code fix my problems and give me an array of the cc-ed addresses that are present in a given mail item.

public string[] GetCCAddress(MailItem mailItem)
    {
        string email;
        Outlook.ExchangeUser exUser;
        List <string> ccEmailAddressList = new List<string>();
        foreach (Recipient recip in mailItem.Recipients)
        {
            if ((OlMailRecipientType)recip.Type == OlMailRecipientType.olCC)
            {
                    email=recip.Address;
                    if (!email.Contains("@"))
                    {
                        exUser = recip.AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser();
                        email = exUser.PrimarySmtpAddress;
                    }
                    ccEmailAddressList.Add(email);

            }
        }

This statement if (!email.Contains("@")) is to avoid calling exUser.PrimarySmtpAddress on an actual email address and restrict that to entries such as " /O=EXG5/OU=EXCHANGE ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=Test88067"
