get email address from username outlook java

Question

I need to get the email address corresponding to a particular Username in outlook through JAVA. I have tried digging into the microsoft exchange webservices API, but couldnt find anything useful. The only faint hope i had was with the , resolveNames() method, but that proved to be a dead end. Does anyone have an idea on how to go about it?

what i basically need is this :

username : "abcxqz"

when we do a Ctrl + k on outlook, it gives the corresponding contact or email address.

i need to simulate the same functionality in code( JAVA ) . Any pointers or links to API's that could help me achieve this would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Answer 1

What code exactly do you use? Could you be more specific?

You can use the ExchangeService.ResolveName EWS Managed API method or the ResolveNames EWS operation to return a list of potential matches for a selection of text, such as part of a last name. The returned items can be public user mailboxes, distribution groups, and contacts.

// Resolve the ambiguous name "dan".
NameResolutionCollection resolvedNames = service.ResolveName("dan");
// Output the list of candidates.
foreach (NameResolution nameRes in resolvedNames)
{
   Console.WriteLine("Contact name: " + nameRes.Mailbox.Name);
   Console.WriteLine("Contact e-mail address: " + nameRes.Mailbox.Address);
   Console.WriteLine("Mailbox type: " + nameRes.Mailbox.MailboxType);
}

See How to: Resolve ambiguous names by using EWS in Exchange 2013 for more information.

Answer 2

public void getEmailId() throws Exception {
    init();
    NameResolutionCollection nameResults = exchangeService.resolveName("royran");
    Map<String, String> results = new TreeMap<String, String>();
    for (NameResolution name : nameResults) {
        String contactName = name.getMailbox().getName();
        String emailAddress = name.getMailbox().getAddress();
        results.put(contactName, emailAddress);
    }

    for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : results.entrySet())
    { 
        System.out.println(entry.getKey() + "/" + entry.getValue());
    } 
}

}
