Morning,

I am using redemption and vb.net to get new mail in a certain mailbox
and save the attachments down to use. This all works successfully until
i want to hide this specific user from all lists in exchange as i do
not want people directly emailing this user.

Does anyone know whether you have to have this unticked in exchange or
is there a way around this problem??

Thanks
 
Hide the user from what, the GAL? That has to be done by an admin in ADUC or
by ADSI or some other coding that hits ADUC on the server.
 
Hi there,

Yes I mean from the GAL. I ticked the box manually on the server and
when i went to run the program again the program would not recogonise
the mailbox to log into to. As soon as i took the tick out the "hide
from exchange lists" it worked.
 
So your problem is solved now? I couldn't tell from your reply.
 
Sorry must have not been very clear then. No my problem is not fixed,
well its more of a question really. Can you have a mailbox hidden from
the GAL and still log into that mailbox using outlook redemption.
 
Yes, if you have the logon information you need and have permissions to log
into that mailbox. It doesn't need to be exposed to the GAL for that.
 
Strictly speaking, if you know all the information about that mailbox (name,
entry id, e-mail, etc), you can construct the required profile manually.
Redemption however takes the mailbox name as an argument to
LogonExchangeMailbox, which it resolves against GAL. Since your mailbox is
hidden from GAL, Redemption cannot resolve the name...

Thanks for the advice. Could you possibly give me an example of how to
construct the profile manually?? would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
You would need to populate all the properties set by the EX provider - look
at the profile data with ProfMan (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=228736)
or OutlookSpy. Most of these properties are not documented of course.
