My VB.NET application is designed to work side by side with Outlook to perform the following.
This application works flawlessly right up until the moment where the workstation locks itself from the screensaver timeout. When the PC is unlocked it resumes normal operation and goes through the backlog of emails. You're probably going to say to just disable the screensaver, however this PC is only accessed by Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection using a shared user account so this isn't possible.
This runs under Windows XP SP3 and Outlook 2003. My issue isn't really to find a solution, it's more to just find the cause. But obviously a solution would be nice.
Here is a snippet of code from the application, it's basic Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook VB.NET code:
Public Sub Outlook_GetMail()
Dim sFileName As String = "senderexcludedlist.txt"
Dim ssenderexcludedlist As String = ""
If System.IO.File.Exists(sFileName) = True Then
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(sFileName)
Do While objReader.Peek() <> -1
ssenderexcludedlist = objReader.ReadLine()
Loop
objReader.Dispose()
End If
Dim sMessage As String = ""
' Create Outlook application.
Dim oApp As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application
' Get Mapi NameSpace.
Dim oNS As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.NameSpace = oApp.GetNamespace("mapi")
oNS.Logon("Mailbox", Missing.Value, False, True)
' Get Messages collection of Inbox.
Dim oInbox As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder = oNS.GetDefaultFolder(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox)
Dim oItems As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Items = oInbox.Items
' Get unread e-mail messages.
oItems = oItems.Restrict("[Unread] = true")
' Loop each unread message.
Dim oMsg As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To oItems.Count
On Error Resume Next
oMsg = oItems.Item(i)
Dim strBody = oMsg.Body()
strBody = Replace(strBody, vbNewLine, "<BR>")
strBody = Replace(strBody, "'", "´")
Dim strSenderEmailAddress As String = oMsg.SenderEmailAddress
If InStr(ssenderexcludedlist, strSenderEmailAddress) = 0 And Not oMsg.SenderName.Contains("Leeds Tech Support") Then
sMessage = sMessage & oMsg.Subject & vbNewLine
sMessage = sMessage & oMsg.SenderName & vbNewLine
sMessage = sMessage & strSenderEmailAddress & vbNewLine
sMessage = sMessage & oMsg.CC & vbNewLine
sMessage = sMessage & oMsg.ReceivedTime & vbNewLine
sMessage = sMessage & oMsg.Body & vbNewLine
sMessage = sMessage & "---------------------------" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine
MsgLog.Text = sMessage & MsgLog.Text
'INSERT SQL HERE
End If
oMsg.UnRead = False
oMsg.Delete()
Next
' Log off.
oNS.Logoff()
' Clean up.
oApp = Nothing
oNS = Nothing
oItems = Nothing
oMsg = Nothing
End Sub
I can't recommend highly enough that you check out Outlook Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/home.htm). This will allow you to interact with Exchange without having to muck about with Outlook. I have several applications that do essentially what you are attempting to do; some of them run as a service, others get called on a timed job or run interactively, but none of them have any problems with whether the user is logged in or not.
