Hi:

I've been selling items on ebay for several years, and have developed a
customer base of about 10,000. But I don't have any of this customer
information in a database. All of my customer information is wrapped up in
email messages that I've received from eBay and PayPal. I'd like to
programmatically use VB to go into these emails and get the customer
information.

Any advice or sample code for searching through these emails? I don't need
help parsing the text, just how to programmatically access these emails.

Thanks!!

OE doesn´t provide you with an ActiveX object model like OL does.
Additionally it´s single threaded and thus not designed for being accessed
from outside.

I have a wrapper and maybe I can help you but that wouldn´t be for free.
Please e-mail me if you´re interested.

A workaround is to export all the messages to OL. Then you can scan them via
the Items collection of the MapiFolder object.
 
Hi Robert,

"Public APIs: OE has always had the public IStoreNamespace API to allow
the database content to be accessed."

And a winner article with a free sample but in C++ can be find at:

Our company sells commercially a COM object capable of more features
than the regular interface at: http://www.nektra.com/products/oeapi/
