I have been trying to read outlook messages in a inbox with a specific subject and download the attachments associated with that particular subject.
This is the powershell script which i have used
$filepath = “C:\folder”
$filter="[Subject]=Test Powershell"
Add-type -assembly "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook" | out-null
$olFolders = "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.olDefaultFolders" -as [type]
$outlook = new-object -comobject outlook.application
$namespace = $outlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
$namespace.Logon("profilename","mypassword",$false,$false)
$folder = $namespace.getDefaultFolder($olFolders::olFolderInBox)
#$folder.items|select *
$folder.items.Restrict($filter)|
select -Expand Attachments | % {
for ($i = $_.Count; $i; $i--) {
$_.Item($i).SaveAsFile("$filepath\$($_.Item($i).FileName)")
}
}
However after the outlook MAPI object was created, I was prompted with the profile password to be provided manually even though I have added $namespace.Logon with profile password as a paramater. I want the password of the profile to be sent through the script without password prompt.
Please point out the change that has to be made to do so.
Namespace.Logon does not take the password for your Exchange mailbox. It might work for a password protected PST file, but not for an Exchange mailbox. Login in at least once and make sure "remember password" checkbox is checked to make sure you are no longer prompted.

When I run the following powershell script to send an e-mail :
$Outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$file = Get-ChildItem -Path "H:\TP65655\IDX CVA\UAT" -Include *.idx -Recurse | Where {$_.CreationTime -gt (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)}
$atts = $file.fullname
$Mail = $Outlook.CreateItem(0)
$Mail.To = "email#domain.com"
$Mail.Subject = "Testing E-mail Automation"
$Mail.Body = "UAT TEST"
Try
{
$Mail.Attachments.Add($atts)
$Mail.Send()
Write-Host "Mail Sent Successfully"
Read-Host -Prompt “Press Enter to exit”
}
Catch
{
Write-Host "File Not Attached Successfully, Please Try Again"
Read-Host -Prompt “Press Enter to exit”
Exit
}
The following pops up from Outlook :

Is there any way I can remove this without changing the programmatic access in Trust Center to "Never" as this is an organization desktop and that option is not feasible.
You get a standard security prompt in Outlook. Your options are:
Use the Outlook Security Manager component which allows to disable such warnings at run-time dynamically.
Use a low-level API on which Outlook is based on - Extended MAPI. It doesn't throw security warnings or pop-ups. Or just consider using any wrapper around a low-level API such as Redemption.
Develop a COM add-in which has access to the trusted Application object. COM add-ins don't trigger such security prompts.
Deploy security settings via GPO.
Install any antivirus software with latest updates.
You may find the "A program is trying to send an e-mail message on your behalf" warning in Outlook article in MSDN helpful.
I have shared mailbox on office365 which doesnt have a user account associated with it i.e. I cant login to it via the office 365 portal. I access to it via Outlook as a shared mailbox hence my account has permission to view the inbox.
I have used the powershell script found here and I have barely amended it except to change the $mail and $password.
If I use my own account credentials I can loop through the foreach loop and observe it accessing my emails which is great. I want to however access a shared mailbox called shared#mailbox.com instead of myAccount#mailbox.com.
To attempt to do this I added a username variable and passed this to $service.credentials and passed the $mail variable to $service.autodiscover. See code below.
This did not work....
Can anyone help?
$username="myAccount#mailbox.com"
$password="myPassword"
$mail = "shared#mailbox.com"
# Set the path to your copy of EWS Managed API
$dllpath = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange\Web Services\2.2\Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll"
# Load the Assemply
[void][Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile($dllpath)
# Create a new Exchange service object
$service = new-object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeService
#These are your O365 credentials
$Service.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.WebCredentials($username,$password)
# this TestUrlCallback is purely a security check
$TestUrlCallback = {
param ([string] $url)
if ($url -eq "https://autodiscover-s.outlook.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml") {$true} else {$false}
}
# Autodiscover using the mail address set above
$service.AutodiscoverUrl($mail,$TestUrlCallback)
I have desktop PC working with Windows 10 and different Outlook 2007
I want get their email/username from their local profile what I mean is this
All I want is the username and email from the profile with PowerShell, what it the code can do that?
I made some changes to get the right solution :
Add-Type -assembly "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook"
$Outlook = New-Object -comobject Outlook.Application
$namespace =$Outlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
$namespace.Accounts| select -Property SmtpAddress
SmtpAddress
-----------
somone#email.com
also you can get the data files and information about emails using $namespace property.
I am new to both powershell and sharepoint, and I need to make script to automate the removal and uploading of attachments from outlook to sharepoint. I have easily completed the first part of extracting the attachment, however the uploading to sharepoint has become difficult do to my company's rules. As I understand to use sharepoint cmdlets you need to add the sharepoint snap-in but I am unable to do so because I dont have access to the sharepoint server. Is there anyway to the snapin without being on the server and if not can I upload it another way?
You can't add the SP snap in unless the server is a SP server. Instead, use a webservice/webclient approach to upload the file. Something like this should work depending on your SP version:

Accepted answer link is broken.
This script uses PowerShell to upload a file to a document library in SharePoint using purely web service calls so it could be done remotely, also meaning it should work with O365 though I have not tried.
These variables are used throughout the script for source file, destination file and authentication. If your workstation is on the same domain as SharePoint, and your logged on user has permissions to the SharePoint site, you can omit $username, $password, and $domain
$LocalPath = "C:\filename.docx"
$spDocLibPath = "http://site.contoso.com/sites/spteam/Shared Documents/"
$username = "someone"
$password = "somepassword"
$domain = "contoso"
$UploadFullPath = $spDocLibPath + $(split-path -leaf $LocalPath)
$WebClient = new-object System.Net.WebClient
if($username -eq "" -or $password -eq "" -or $password -eq "")
{
# Use Local Logged on User Credentials
$WebClient.Credentials = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultCredentials
}
else
{
# Alternate Login for specifying credentials
$WebClient.Credentials = new-object System.Net.NetworkCredential($username, $password, $domain)
}
$WebClient.UploadFile($UploadFullPath, "PUT", $LocalPath)

I have a .msg file on my filesystem. With powershell I can open a Outlook window with the message simply like this:
Invoke-Item "MY MAIL.msg"
How to change the subject and forward it to a given address via Powershell?
Thanks in advance
We had a problem that required the email to be forwarded from Outlook, there was 3000~ emails to do.
The answer Iain had given led me down the path to success, so thank you.
However it did not work for me as given, it failed. I noticed that you need to save the method of the forward to a variable and then execute the code from that, below is my complete script for looping through each msg file in a folder and forwarding it to a person.
I also left the subject as it was and gave no body as this was not needed.
#Open Outlook and get a list of emails to forward
$Outlook = New-Object -comObject Outlook.Application
$Emails = Get-ChildItem -Path C:\Users\APerson\Documents -Filter *.msg
#Loop through each email and open it up
Foreach($Email IN $Emails){
$Message = $Outlook.Session.OpenSharedItem($($Email.FullName))
$Forward = $Message.Forward()
$Forward.Recipients.Add('a.person#gmail.com')
$Forward.Send()
#Sleep is optional :D
Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
}
#Close Outlook
$Outlook.Quit()
Also noticed if you have a security policy applied to Outlook that is stopping you from running this script, for example it will remove the Add() on recipients, just import these registry settings (can be saved as a reg file):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\14.0\outlook\security]
"PromptOOMSend"=dword:00000002
"PromptOOMAddressBookAccess"=dword:00000002
"PromptOOMAddressInformationAccess"=dword:00000002
"PromptOOMMeetingTaskRequestResponse"=dword:00000002
"PromptOOMSaveAs"=dword:00000002
"PromptOOMFormulaAccess"=dword:00000002
"PromptSimpleMAPISend"=dword:00000002
"PromptSimpleMAPINameResolve"=dword:00000002
"PromptSimpleMAPIOpenMessage"=dword:00000002
You could try something like this, works with outlook 2010
$ol = New-Object -comObject Outlook.Application
gm -InputObject $ol
$mail = $ol.Session.OpenSharedItem("C:\Users\fred\Desktop\Test Email Subject.msg")
$mail.Forward()
$Mail.Recipients.Add("fred#bloggs.com")
$Mail.Subject = "Test Mail"
$Mail.Body = " Test Mail 22222 "
$Mail.Send()
In PowerShell 2.0 there is a Send-MailMessage cmdlet that allows you to attach files, specify a subject and a recipient e.g.:
Send-MailMessage -smtpServer smtp.doe.com -from 'joe#doe.com' `
-to 'jane#doe.com' -subject 'Testing' -attachment foo.txt
Not sure how that plays with .msg files but you might give it a try.
