If you're asking how I'll get the data, the mail msgs -> JavaMail. It works against IMAP and POP servers. http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/ -----Original Message----- From: Bosch, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 8:50 AM To: 'Lucene Users List' Subject: RE: Indexing MSFT Outlook/Exchange mail...or really, URLs that refer to Outlook I don't know if this will help or not but I think you're on the right path with the outlook: URL idea. In Outlook XP the URL window can be show while you're in your mailbox and it starts with outlook: following by essentially the address of the folder/message you're on. I'm doing this from memory, though, since I have that at home and not on my work computer. Okay, just did a little test. Put the following in your browser if you use Outlook and type this: outlook:inbox It should put you in your inbox in Outlook. I don't know how individual messages are specified, though, but if you'd like I can look for you this evening when I get home and see if the individual message has one.

What I can't figure out is if there's some URL syntax that tells IE to tell Outlook to pull up a selected mail msg. Goal is to have a web page of search results with appropriate URLs so that the mail client will go to the selected mail msg. Haven't found anything on the web, msdn, or whatnot. Sometimes when I print I do briefly see "outlook:" in the printer status window so maybe that's a clue. Ideally the syntax will have some unique identifier of the msg in it. Does anyone know of the MSFT/Outlook/Exchange URL formats or where (in the registery?) these would be defined? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
