Format for email address using SMAPI with VB?

[Rick A. Palmer]

I'm having a difficult time getting MAPI to work with Visual Basic when
setting the recipient's email address. I'm using the VBPJ article that
provided a MAPI class module with a recipient and address class.

What format should I use to set the email address? By email I mean the
"em...@internet.com" format, not the display name. If I set the name to
em...@internet.com and resolve it, MAPI doesn't want to take it. Is there a
format like "SMTP:em...@internet.com" that I should be using? Should I be
setting the display name or the address?

Thanks,

Rick

Rick,

I am doing some MAPI/Schedule+ stuff and found that this is the format
for the address in Exchange.

EX:/o=SHELL/ou=MSXSEPC/cn=Recipients/cn=RL185153

EX - is for MS Exchange. There are other types as well
cn - Basic Email name, i.e. BobBolin

Hope this helps
