Yes... there are two approaches though. You can either do it interactively
or non-interactively.
your mail suggests you have an interactive user who will run a script. If
outlook is open you can just use an existing session, otherwise you have to
use the MAPI.Logon method which is supplied by CDO.DLL, CDONTS.DLL or
CDOSYS.DLL depending what OS you have. WinNT pretends its supplied by
OLEMSG32.dll but it lies.
Ok - the addressbook. Assuming defaults you can use an "anonymous profile"
which means you only need the server name. Alternatively grab the users
username and pick an exchange server...
These constants might be useful to you - they should both give an SMTP
address (&H is VB for hex format - just change them):
Const g_PR_SMTP_ADDRESS_W = &H39FE001F
Const g_PR2 = &H39FE001F
----
my $session = Win32::OLE->new("MAPI.Session") or die;
my $connect = "$server" . chr(10) . "$username";
$session->Logon(,,0 ,,,, $connect);
That answers your immediate question. To pop up the Global Address List the
session object has an AddressBook method, or you can just query the message
store. Alternatively, have you thought of using LDAP/ADO against the
exchange directory rather than MAPI - that seems more intuitive at first
glance?

lemsg_session_object.asp (browse to the Logon method for a description of
profiles etc)
