I want to pull information from incoming Emails. We want to get th
subject line and sender email address and body and what some call th
header data. I've found I can't necessarily get the sender email.
I've seen where Sue Mosher says to use CDO. Is that for regular no
exchange Outlook?

Is her book a good one for programming Outlook data using Microsof
VB.net? Are there others?

Thanks for getting me started.

No, there is no book on programming Outlook with .NET. Tom Rizzo has a
chapter or two in his latest, but that's it. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/index.htm#dotnet for other .Net references. My
book will give you the basic information on Outlook programming building
blocks (methods for working with folders, with items, etc.) that are
essential regardless of the language.

CDO 1.21 is not officially supported in .NET, although I know people are
using it. But since it's subject to security prompts, Redemption
(http://www.dimaster.com/redemption/) is a better choice.
 
Sue's right. The only hurdle for .NET programming with Outlook is making
sure you use the PIA (primary interop assemblies) and work through some of
the coding issues. I cover this in my book but the Outlook Object Model is
the same pretty much from .NET or COM.
