Have a look at Win32::OLE. I believe a Google search should turn up a 
few examples of Win32::OLE and Outlook.

I get about 10 hits if I search cpan for 'Outlook'.

Perhaps one of these will do what you want.

Outlook with perl

Hi all
Just wondering is there any way we can talk to outlook using perl, as
in to look at a users inbox and then do an action on that ? for
example send a mail from a users mail.

And no before you ask, I'm not trying to write another spamming application :)

Why not just create a message filter or rule or whatever Outlook calls
it (or multiple ones for various criteria)?

I have informed them, however they apparently do not care. As a  courtesy, I do 
forward these specific emails on, but want to automate this  "courtesy" process.
What module(s) do you recommended?

I am using cygwin 1.5.24 and Perl 5.8.8

After some CPAN browsing it looks like Mail::Outlook Module Version:  0.13 fits

All, 

I am looking for some humble advice. I keep getting annoying emails using the 
mail client 'Outlook 2003 SP2.' These messages are intended for another person 
in my company with the same name as I. Not to my surprise, the email support 
group decided to give this person an email address that only differs by one

look for certain keywords, if these keywords are found compose a reply email 
that contains a pre-written message template to the original sender.

What module will fit my needs?

Maybe not, because the rule was that it ends at newline, unless inside

OK, lets check how wellformed it is:

perl -we'
  local $/;
  $_ = <>;
  s/"[^"]*"//g;
  s/(?<=,)[^",]+(?=,)//g;
  s/^[^,"]*,+//;
  print
' outlook-encrtypted-sample.csv 


That prints:
--- 
"3snji

so AFAICS there is a problem somewhere at the end. 

Maybe try a zipped version?

Just pedantic nitpick, but CSV is an incredibly reliable format, the
problem is find programs that actually use CSV rather than a CSV-like
format.  It works out to the same thing, but it isn't CSV's fault.
For an example of a programmer using a CSV-like format where he/she
should be using the real thing look at my other post on this thread.
My code fails to handle escaped double quotes correctly.

CSV is a horrible format.  Far too unreliable,  we have exported CSV
from excel that imported differently into excel.

Is there another option,  eg connecting to Outlook via a remote
connection?

Is there another format available?

I doubt a simple regex will do it if the CSV modules do not work.

What data do you have problems with?  Without samples there is nothing
we can do.

Thank you for pointing out .. but we have already tried it!
Unfortunately, it failed to seperate the records in the right fashion.
We have also tried the several more modules from CPAN.. and they were
not able to parse the OutLook's CSV. 

If you read my mail again, you might find that I already mentioned that
we tried several modules before falling back to writing our own code.

What I am expecting is help with the variant of the regex I used as the
condition for while loop. I am sure If we modify that regexp a little
bit, then we can just use it on the record like this :

$_ = $record;
@fields = /regexp/g;

I tried a lot of different ways but just could not get the right
regexp :-(.

Outlook CSV Parser

[Laxminarayan G Kamath A]

Hi PERLers, 
We here at DeepRoot Linux were trying to parse Outlook's csv so
that I can add them to ldap addressbook.. After several futile tries
around with lots of built in packages, we decided it was up to us to
device an algorithm. As time was of importance , we wrote a "well it
works!" "character by character" parsing perl algorithm. 
Wondering about how I could make it run faster, I thought I
will give regular expressions a try. The attached file is what I have
come up to.. but it still takes more than 10 seconds on my 1.6 GHZ P4
with 1G RAM to parse a 6500+ lines of CSV . and seperate them  out ..
Let alone importing them to LDAP. Any ways of optimising it further?
The stubling blocks : there are several types of problems in
Outlook's CSV .. 
1. One line need not be one record. They may cointain multine
fields.
2. A sigh of relief but : only multi-line fields are wrapped in
double quotes.
3. commas are both inside and outside the fields. the ones in
the fileds must not be treated as "seperator" - again fields with
commans are wrapped in double quotes.
 
I hope I am on the right mailing list.. Else, please direct me to the
proper one.

CSV are also doubly escaped. Commas in CSV are escaped by placing them
inside double-quotes. Double-quotes, inside double-quotes, are escaped
by placing two in a row; but if they're outside double-quotes, there's
just one of them. The following is a valid CSV line:

CSV file that can be loaded to Microsoft Outlook

[Mihir Kamdar]

hi,

I have written a perl script whose output is a CSV file(semicolon seperated)
in keeping reference to the Outlook Address Book. But whenever I am
importing the file to Outlook, it gives me some data error, and does not get
imported.

Can anybody help me on this??

thanx,

Accessing Outlook mail via Mail::Outlook

[jason_normandin]

Greeting.

I am trying to create a script that will search a user's outlook email and move 
any messages that mtahc a certain subject to a new folder.  To accomplish this 
I found the Mail::Outlook module on CPAN that allows me to easily access the 
OLE Outlook calls via Win32::Ole.

My problem is this, the Mail::Outlook module does not have a specific method to 
move an email from one mailbox to another. I can display the email when my 
match occurs, but I cannot figure out how to move it.

Here is an example of my code that works just find to pop-up an display any 
messages in my mailbox that match :

use Mail::Outlook;
use strict;

# Open filehandle to Remedy report file
open (_TICKETS,'C:\TicketCounts\MyOpen.rep') or die "Cannot open 
C:\TicketCounts\MyOpen.rep : $!";
# Iterate through each line of the file
print "Obtaining list of open tickets from $remedyReportFile  ";
while (<_TICKETS>){
# Add ticket number to array in csv format
push @myTickets, "$1" if m/CallT(\d+)/;
}
print " Ok.\n";
# Open an Outlook OLE connection
print "Opening connection to Outlook  ";
my $outlook = new Mail::Outlook('') or die "Cannot create mail object\n";
# Change to the Support mail folder
my $folder = $outlook->folder('Inbox/Support') or die "Cannot create folder 
object\n";
# Read the 1st message
print " Ok.\n";
print "Searching messages for call ticket match  " unless defined 
$bodyMatchString;
print "Searching messages for subject containing: call ticket matches and body 
containing: $bodyMatchString ... " if defined $bodyMatchString;
my $message = $folder->first();

# Iternate all messages in the folder
while ($message) {
# Strip the call ticket number out of the subject
my $callTicketNumber=$1 if $message->Subject() =~ m/CallT(\d+) /;
# If a call ticket number was found, compare against the user's open 
call tickets
if (defined $callTicketNumber) {
if ( (grep /$callTicketNumber/, @myTickets) ) { 
$emailMatches++;
$message->Display;
}
}
}

Now, I want to change the $message->Display to a move operation. Searching the 
available OLE/COM Objects for Outlook via Microsoft's OLE/COM Viewer, I see 
that there is a  move method for the mailItem CO class:

[id(0xf034), helpcontext(0x004de8b9)]
IDispatch* Move([in] MAPIFolder* DestFldr);

I tried editing the Outlook::Mesage.pm file (that stores the message display 
call) to add a call to this OLE method. 

The 1st thing I did was to see if I could simply add a new su b to the PM file 
called moveMessage that in actually would simply display the messag the same 
way the display sub did:

sub moveMessage {
my ($self,%hash) = @_;

# pre-populate the fields, if hash
foreach my $field (@autosubs) {
$self->{$field} = $hash{$field} if($hash{$field});
}

# we need a basic message fields
return 0unless($self->{To} && $self->{Subject} && 
$self->{Body});

# Build the message
$self->{message}->{To}  = $self->{To};
$self->{message}->{Cc}  = $self->{Cc}   if($self->{Cc});
$self->{message}->{Bcc} = $self->{Bcc}  if($self->{Bcc});
$self->{message}->{Subject} = $self->{Subject};
$self->{message}->{Body}= $self->{Body};

# Send the email
$self->{message}->Display();

return 1;
}

I thought this would be an easy 1st step, but come to find out, I am getting 
teh following error when I run this:

retrying default method at E:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/OLE/Lite.pm line 157, 
<_TICKETS> line 9.
Win32::OLE(0.1403) error 0x8002000e: "Invalid number of parameters"
in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "" at H:\outlook2.pl line 45

Now, I must confess that I am new to OLE and have limited exposure to Object 
Orientation. Can anyone point me in the right direction or show me some sample 
code that will move a message from one mailbox to another?

I have searched extensively for any existing code to do this, but all I have 
found are very limited and do not come close to accomplishing my goal.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks!
Jason

OT: Controlling bottom posting in outlook

[Price, Jason (TLR Corp)]

I've sensed that bottom posting is considered proper etiquette for this mailing list.  
Using Outlook, this is obviously not the default reply behavior.  I have seen a link 
to a utility that allows bottom posting in Outlook, but it replaces the default reply 
format for all messages.  Being in a corporate environment where everyone uses the 
same reply format, I do not want to use bottom posting for corporate communication (it 
would confuse many people around here, lol).  Is there a utility available that would 
allow me to bottom post only on messages I choose?  A right click option for bottom 
posting would be ideal - anyone know of a utility that can do this?

Thanks.

RE: How to parse Microsoft Outlook Inbox

[Bradley A. Brown]

You can also export emails into .txt files as well... At least you can on
2000 and XP. You can also get an add-on for Outlook that will automatically
do this for you. Since the one I use is a commercial program I will just say
do a google search on automatically saving emails in outlook and you should
get something.
Hope this is of use.

Hi!
In Outlook (not sure about Express), you can export the mailbox to a
.csv or tab seperated file as well as dBase, foxpro, access, excel or a
pst file.  That may be a little step towards your goal.  Not sure what
kind of layout you are looking for in your .txt file, but that may help.

In the hope that the OP was a little sloppy in his wording and he did in
fact mean Outlook Express then, yes, he can use Mail::Transport::Dbx
either directly or through Mail::Box. Those dbx files are OutlookX'
equivalents to the standard mbox format.

If he really meant Outlook, then he's out of luck (heh). I had a look at
the libpst (which is by the same authors as the libdbx used in
M::T::Dbx) but that rather put me off. Outlook's formats are infinitely
more complicated (there seem to be two versions of those living in
parallel even).

I know very little about this specific subject, but Mail::Box has some 
support for Outlook (maybe only express) mail, via Mail::Transport::Dbx. 
 It is read only which sounds like it should support your purposes, and 
works on dbx files whatever those are.  Other than that I haven't seen 
any outlook mail parsers before...

There also appears to be this conversion tool:

http://search.cpan.org/~dcoppit/mbx2mbox-0.34/mbx2mbox

Which once you have them in standard mbox format you can use one of the 
many mail handling modules to take it the rest of the way

You might want to take a look at:

Re: outlook

Javeed

If Outlook is connecting to a POP3 server (rather than IMAP) then all the
messages it has received are already on your local disk drive. I think you
need to explain more about what you're trying to do. Do you already have a
Perl program which processes mail? Using Perl to read email directly from
the server is a far easier option than trying to read the Outlook files
(whose structure is undocumented) IMO.

Let us know.

Re: Want to know about outlook

[Stephen Mayes]

As others have pointed out outlook is purely a client connecting to, usually
exchange. For the purposes of firing off an email the only M$ option is an
exe called mapisend.exe which is a command line smtp mailer - it is part of
the back office resource kit. 

However that is charged for, personally I would use BLAT a decent, free
command line mailer and the following page is about how to use it with perl.

http://www.rrpro.com/support/webform_blat.asp
<http://www.rrpro.com/support/webform_blat.asp>  

Also whilst exchange can support LDAP, POP3, MIME etc. It will certainly
support SMTP, but one thing to watch out for is whether the server will
accept smtp connections from any IP address. Any security conscious mail
admin will lock down IP connection addresses (we do).

Hope this helps

Steve

RE: Wants to know about outlook with perl

You can do this from Perl if you wish. What follows is VBA code that does
almost everything you want. You will have to convert it to Win32 Perl. (Hey,
I can't do everything for you.)

What is excluded is info regarding the username and password. This info is
definitely in the Outlook VBA help file. See how to do it in Outlook VBA
then simply convert the code to Win32 Perl. I have done the same thing with
Access VBA and it is fairly simple. Please refer to the link "Using OLE with
Perl" in the ActivePerl help file. There are many examples.

Oh -

If you just want to send mail, try

Mail::Sendmail v. 0.78 - Simple platform independent mailer 

on CPAN. Check out the documentation.

Sorry - I don't know anything about your other apps,
but somewhwere down deep they _must_ be using one
or more of the internet swite of mail protocols
(pop,pop3,smtp,imap, etc.).

Good luck!

RE: Wants to know about outlook with perl

[Timothy Johnson]

Along the same lines of what Beau was saying, check your settings to see if
you are using Exchange or SMTP (Internet Mail).  If you are using Exchange,
then you can still try using the SMTP modules, many Exchange servers support
SMTP from internal clients as long as you are on the LAN.  It depends on how
much security your Network Admin has on the Exchange server.  Trying to
automate Outlook would be a lengthy and complicated task that I wouldn't
recommend for anybody.  

There is a Win32::Exchange module out there that you can use to interface
with the Exchange directory services, but I would recommend that for someone
who was a little more comfortable with Perl, and in particular the idea of
references to data structures.  To get an idea of what I mean, type these at
the command prompt:
  perldoc perlreftut
  perldoc perllol
or even better, if you're using ActiveState (which I recommend), check out
the HTML documentation and look under "Perl Core Documentation" for
perlreftut and perllol.

Anyway, check out these modules if you can swing it so that you can use
SMTP:

  Mail::Sender (good for sending attachments)
  Net::SMTP(this module is actually a good way to get a basic
understanding of how SMTP works)
  MIME::Lite
  Mail::Sendmail

I don't think there is any module to convert directly to Word. However,
there might be a module to convert text to Word RTF, which is as good
as a Word.doc. RTF is very complicated, so I don't know if anyone has
tacked this task.

The first is probably fairly difficult.  Perhaps use search.cpan.org
to find a perl module which will output word documents.  I know
there's one for Excel, but I've never had a reason to use one for
Word.

For the second, you can create a template file like so:

template.txt
'
Dear {salutation} {first_name} {last_name},

Congratulations!  You may have already won {amount}.  That's right,
{first_name}, the lifestyle of your dreams could be at hand!

Blah blah blah.
'

And open it, replace the tags like so:

'
#!/usr/bin/perl -wl

use strict;

open TEMPLATE, "template.txt"
  or die "Could not open template.txt: $!";

local $/ = undef;
my $temp = ;

close TEMPLATE;

my %repl = ( first_name => 'Sarah',
 last_name => 'Kirby',
 salutation => 'Ms.',
 amount => '$100,000,000'
 );

foreach my $key (keys %repl) {
  $temp =~ s/\{$key\}/$repl{$key}/gi;
}

print $temp;
'

Replacing 'print $temp', with whatever e-mail code you wish to send.
You could, for instance, loop over an array of user records, do the
substitution for each on a copy of '$temp', and e-mail them to the
appropriate user.

RE: Word and Outlook

[Timothy Johnson]

A couple of ideas:

1)  You can check CPAN to see if there is a module like
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel for Word, otherwise your best bet might be to
convert a Word Macro into Perl.  You can do this with Win32::OLE.  Check the
documentation for Win32::OLE, and you should see some examples using Excel.
After that, you can use the macro recorder to record some of the basic
things you want to do.  From there you should be able to get an idea of
where to proceed next.

2)  As for the email template, it might just be simpler to have Perl
generate an SMTP mail and send it to you, and you can add the addresses and
forward it on from there.

Import Appointments into Outlook using Perl and vCalendar

[Booher Timothy B 1stLt AFRL/MNAC]

Hello all,

At our lab we constantly have emails sent out in the form:

7-15 JanTesting of Product X (POC:  Joe Smith)  Room 265
2 Jan   Leaders Meeting  (POC: John Doe)Room 121
8 Jan   Review   (POC: Tom) Room 30

I am trying to take these word documents and create some time of vCalendar
file so I can automatically import all of these dates into a personal
information manager (such as Outlook or Palm). As it is everyone is
laboriously adding these things to their respective calendars or manually
inputting this information into Outlook.

Does anyone know of a module that takes inputs and generates vCalendar
files. Is there a better way to do this?

Any thoughts?

Hi.  I would like to be able to retrieve messages using a Perl script from

but on further investigation it seems this is designed to run on Unix and

should be possible to do this directly through the Outlook objects.  But it
strikes me that someone may well have done this already so any suggestions

There are a bunch of Win32::* modules to do what you want.  I've
personally not used them but I think either Win32::API or Win32::OLE
are what you want.

I don't know, but at worst, you could parse the (often REALLY huge) data

forgive the ignorance but what is an PST file?

on a general note: as long as it's ascii in some way or the other, there
should be no reason why perl couldnt read it
(binary would be a tad more complicated)

Re: Reading an Outlook "PST" file?

[Luke Bakken]

PST files are the native Outlook export format for Outlook folders.
Unfortunately, they are binary files, and a quick peek shows that they
might be tough to munge.  I'd suggest exporting to something more
text-friendly.

Reading an Outlook "PST" file?

[Wine, Michael]

I need to write a script that will read an Outlook "PST" file (WIN32) so
that I can write each mail message out to a flat file.  I have to believe
that this is a simple thing!  Can anyone help?

Thanks in Advance!

Hi Stephen,

You could attempt to write your own if you wanted.  

Have a look at IO::Socket.  You can use this to connect to the pop server.

Send "user" 
 "pass" 

Issue a STAT after logging in.  This will give you the number of messages waiting.  
The only way I can see you to work out who's messages are who's would be to issue a

   Top 1 

This returns the headers of each message.  From those you could analyse and count the 
message for each user.

Cool?

Paul.

I'd like to write a Perl application that will tell me how many messages are
sitting in an Exchange mailbox.  Implementations of both POP3 and IMAP can
query a mailbox given the username and password.  The problem is that I have
several mailboxes all using the same user account.  Outlook can do this
because it understands "profiles" - i.e., name, password *and* mailbox.  Can
someone point me to a Perl solution or Microsoft API?

RE: Outlook Rules (was Subject Prefix)

[John Edwards]

You can set a rule in Outlook to look for [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the message
header, then move the message to a new folder.

You don't have to worry about the address being in the To: or CC: field.
Outlook will scan the whole header.

How to read OutLook E-Mails?

[Helio S. Junior]

Hello,


I have a WebPage here in our intranet and i would like
to know if it's possible to look for specific Outlook
e-mails when the user 'refreshes' the Page.

When one user clicks on the Refresh Button, i have to
read e-mails from a specific folder in OutLook 2000
and
update a Table inside my page.

Is it possible to do it with Perl?

Any sample code?

Thanks in Advance,


H3li0
