IMail.To[0].Address property

Question

Hi,

Why I can’t see the property "To[0].Address"? and only "To[0].Name"?

Answer 1

IMail.To collection is of MailAddress type.

MailAddress is a base class for MailBox and MailGroup, representing single email address and email group. Name property is common to both and is exposed by MailAddress base class.

To access MailBox.Address property (exposed by MailBox sub-class only), you'll need to find all instances of MailBox in this collection or use MailAddress.GetMailboxes() method:

IMail mail = ...;
foreach (MailAddress address in mail.To)
{
    foreach (MailBox mailbox in address.GetMailboxes())
    {
        Console.WriteLine("{0} <{1}>", mailbox.Name, mailbox.Address);
    }    
}
