OutNews / News: Recent posts

Long time ago...

Outlook 2007 is out and it can handle rss. No wonder. But, afaik it cannot handle NNTP.

So i decided to _finish_ OutNews. (working with Outlook 2003 and less(?))

A first big release is planned in March 2008, so be prepared!

Any interested or motivated people (there is much work, the homepage, programming, testing...) feel free to contact me!

After a long quit time, I did it!
This time I started the right way and I am working continuously on OutNews.
I promise to publish the RSS-part the next few months.

Hows the project?
Project built automatically with NAnt -even wrapper libraries (e.g. for the Outlook Object Model) are autogenerated.
RSS library is RSS.NET.
.NET version 2
Developed with Sharpdevelop

We didn't know which Library to work with (Outlook Object Model, Redemption, CDO, MAPI33...)

After a tryout of almost all we choose to use a combination of Outlook Object Model and MAPI33.

At the moment we are able to Change Postitem Properties (SenderName, EMailAddress...) with MAPI33, which is a very big step because without this you wouldn't see who wrote a message to a NNTP-Server...... read more

As School doesn't take that much time this week we finally started our researches on RSS and NNTP-Libraries for C# and actually found interesting stuff.
Unfortunately we still don't know how to integrate our functionality into Outlook :-( mybe someone can help.
But a stand-alone-app should soon be available.
