Exchange 2003 Custom Application, read emails from sereval m |
|
|
I am hopeing someone can help cause I can't find a solution. I am trying to
create an application that will read all the emails in a specified accounts
in my exchange server. I need to be able to specify several mailboxes and
then have it read the emails in both thier inbox and outbox and tag the email
and put the contents into a database if the email address matches a clients
email. I want to do it at the exchange server level and not the outlook
client level.
I downloaded the Exchange SDK and they only have examples of letting you log
into a single mailbox and performing what I need. Is there not a way to look
at the entire store with one acocunt that has admin right across all
mailboxes and access the emails?
Some examples let one user access all boxes but only the inbox and only
after I delegated that user with permissions to access the inbox through
outlook. That would work but I don't see a way to delegate a users
permissions to read the sent items, only the inbox.
I hope that all made sense and any example would be a huge help!
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Michael. I have been through most of the examples and
it seemed that using webdav you still had to do that delegate thing in
outlook to let a user have permissions. I guess then my problem is I don't
understand how to set the correct permissions in exchange. I used the
adminstration delegation wizard in exchange and gave a user full
administration permissions but they still can't seem to access all the
folders of a user. Do you have to add them to a certain security group in
active directory?
Thanks again!

With WebDAV you can use one account with permission (full mailbox permission) to access to all (or specified) users mailboxes.
You will be able to read mails from inbox, outbox or any other folder and store them in a database.
Exchange SDK contains many samples how to use WebDAV and this will be good start point.

Hello,
the permission that Michael mentioned is a special one in Exchange. It is
the "Sent As" and "Receive As" permission. You can grant this to the user
which will access the maiboxes. It is best to set it on the mailbox store.
This one right will give the user full access to everybodies mailbox...
Another thing you can do with WebDAV is to use the administrative root. Is
is primarily used by the System Manager. You must change your urls to
http://server/exadmin/admin/<dns-name>/mbx/<mailboxname>. And the user must
have be a full Exchange administrator. This will circumvent all permission
set on the mailbox.

Kewl,
Thanks guys and thanks for the reply Henning, that did the trick and I got
my code working great. I can access any account using one administartor.
The webdav example has a dumbed down XML schema for the XML that webdav
punches out. Does anyone have a scheme already mapped out for all the fields
returned in the webdav XML?
Thanks again!

Hello,
by schema, you mean a description of each property? Or do you mean a
full-blown XML-schema?
To some extent, the first one exist on the MSDN website, but the latter one
does not exist...

Re: Exchange 2003 Custom Application, read emails from serev |

Thanks Henning,
I made my own schema and it seems to work well. I can now call a url and
get all items and props for each folder and fill a dataset in .net.
Let me ask you this. When I query the inbox using webdav I get a list of
all the folders and all the emails under and in the inbox. I also get a
description field that has the body of the email in clear text for each
email. When I query the sent items folder I get a list of all the emails but
the description field is null. The only way I can get the description field
for items in the sent items is by querying the email it self. So for example:
http://server/exadmin/admin/server.com/mbx/username/inbox/ <-- gets all
emails and descriptions
http://server/exadmin/admin/server.com/mbx/username/sent items/ <-- gets
only emails but no descripition
http://server/exadmin/admin/server.com/mbx/username/sent items/message1.eml
<-- gets single email and description which should of showed up in the last
step like it does on the inbox.
Any idea?
