I have set up a microsoft exchange web service to allow me to send and receive data to and from my Microsoft Outlook account.
I am attempting to get the saved Contacts information under my profile and then display this information in a similar format as the Microsoft Outlook 2013 desktop application on a web page.
Unfortunately, I have noticed, any email I have allowed Outlook to auto complete for me (ie recognising the email address I have started typing is in my address book and I press enter to select the suggested email), the string value I get back on my web page is what seems to be the folder root url rather than the email value itself.
ie. "/o=ParentFolder/ou=Group1/cn=Recipients/cn=address1" as opposed to "[email protected]"
My question is, is there a way to always return the actual email value back regardless of whether the auto complete feature is used or is there another function I can use that allows me to send the root value down and it fetches the corresponding email string?
thanks
This is the actual email address of type "EX" (as opposed to "SMTP"). Did you add a GAL user to the Contacts folder? You will need the Email1OriginalDisplayName property (DASL name http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062004-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/8084001F). You should be able to retrieve it using EWS. Take a look at the contact with OutlookSpy (I am its author) - click IMessage button.
