How to open Outlook Received and Read Email

Question

We are 5 people who are using the same email for responding to our customers by Outlook. I want to come up with a program to open all of the sent emails, read them ( Open them ), find the first person's signature, and add a number to his/her counter so that I can come up with some statistics.

Any ideas on how to open email which outlook received via C# and parse them ( Read )?

Do you think this is the correct answer for my question ?

Please help me.

Answer 1

You could use EWS or VSTO to achieve this. It really depends on which route you are more comfortable with. EWS would probably be slower since it has to make remote calls, whereas VSTO would have access to the emails on the local machine. Either route should give you access to the Email Body .

VSTO : MailItem.Body
EWS : EmailMessage.Body
