Get sender's SMTP email address with Excel VBA

Question

I pull the Subject, received date and sender's name with the following code:

Set InboxSelect = GetObject("", "Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI").PickFolder
i = 0: EmailCount = 0
EmailCount = InboxSelect.Items.Count
While i < EmailCount
    i = i + 1
    blastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row
    LastRow = Sheets("Body").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row
    With InboxSelect.Items(i)
        MsgBox (SenderEmailAddress)
        'If .senderemailaddress = "*@somethingSpecific.co.uk" Then
            'EmailCount = EmailCount + 1
            Sheets("Import Data").Range("A" & blastRow).Formula = .SenderName
            Sheets("Import Data").Range("B" & blastRow).Formula = Format(.ReceivedTime, "dd/mm/yyyy")
            Sheets("Import Data").Range("C" & blastRow).Formula = .Subject
            Sheets("Body").Range("A" & LastRow).Formula = .Body
        'End If
    End With
Wend

What I'm trying to achieve now is an if statement that will say "If the sender's email address is '[email protected]' then execute that code. I've tried SenderEmailAddress but it returns blank when tested in a message box.

EDIT: /O=*SET1*/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=*VARIABLE1* is now being returned in the immediate window every time with the below code:

Set InboxSelect = GetObject("", "Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI").PickFolder
i = 0: EmailCount = 0
EmailCount = InboxSelect.Items.Count
While i < EmailCount
    For Each Item In InboxSelect.Items
        Debug.Print Item.senderemailaddress
        If Item.senderemailaddress = "/O=SET1/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=*" Then
            i = i + 1
            blastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row
            LastRow = Sheets("Body").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row
            With InboxSelect.Items(i)
                    Sheets("Import Data").Range("A" & blastRow).Formula = .SenderName
                    Sheets("Import Data").Range("B" & blastRow).Formula = Format(.ReceivedTime, "dd/mm/yyyy")
                    Sheets("Import Data").Range("C" & blastRow).Formula = .Subject
                    'PASTING BODY IS SLOW
                    Sheets("Body").Range("A" & LastRow).Formula = .Body
                'End If
            End With
        End If
    Next Item
Wend

What I've attempted to do is use a wildcard symbol (the *) to act as the variation in the returned message but that hasn't worked, is there a better way to do this?

Answer 1

An example of when using the SenderEmailAddress property returns the e-mail string as required.

Dim outlookApp As outlook.Application, oOutlook As Object
Dim oInbox As outlook.Folder, oMail As outlook.MailItem

Set outlookApp = New outlook.Application
Set oOutlook = outlookApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set oInbox = oOutlook.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

For Each oMail In oInbox.Items
    Debug.Print oMail.SenderEmailAddress
Next oMail

EDIT:

The issue is that what the .SenderEmailAddress property is returning the EX address, whereas we want the SMTP address. For any internal e-mail addresses, it will return the EX type address.

To get the SMTP address from an internal e-mail, you can use the below.

Dim outlookApp As Outlook.Application, oOutlook As Object
Dim oInbox As Outlook.Folder, oMail As Outlook.MailItem

Dim strAddress As String, strEntryId As String, getSmtpMailAddress As String
Dim objAddressentry As Outlook.AddressEntry, objExchangeUser As Outlook.ExchangeUser
Dim objReply As Outlook.MailItem, objRecipient As Outlook.Recipient

Set outlookApp = New Outlook.Application
Set oOutlook = outlookApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set oInbox = oOutlook.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

For Each oMail In oInbox.Items
    If oMail.SenderEmailType = "SMTP" Then

        strAddress = oMail.SenderEmailAddress

    Else

        Set objReply = oMail.Reply()
        Set objRecipient = objReply.Recipients.Item(1)

        strEntryId = objRecipient.EntryID

        objReply.Close OlInspectorClose.olDiscard

        strEntryId = objRecipient.EntryID

        Set objAddressentry = oOutlook.GetAddressEntryFromID(strEntryId)
        Set objExchangeUser = objAddressentry.GetExchangeUser()

        strAddress = objExchangeUser.PrimarySmtpAddress()

    End If

    getSmtpMailAddress = strAddress
    Debug.Print getSmtpMailAddress

Next oMail

If the e-mail is already SMTP it will just use the .SenderEmailAddress property to return the address. If the e-mail is EX then it will find the SMTP address by using the .GetAddressEntryFromID() Method.

The above is modified code from what I found on this answer. Here is also a link with how to do this within C#.
