I am trying to retrieve some mails from my Outlook Express mail-box.
However, when using the ‘WIN32OLE.connect(‘Outlook
Express.Application’)’, I
will get the following error message:
WIN32OLERuntimeError: unknown OLE server: Outlook Express.Application' HRESULT error code:0x800401f3 Invalid class string from (irb):23:ininitialize’
from (irb):23:in `new’
from (irb):23
I have tried ‘Outlook’, ‘Outlookexpress’ with upper/lower case as well.
It
doesn’t work anyway.
It seems to me that WIN32OLE could support Outlook, but not Outlook
Express.
Is that true?
If so, would you guys please give me some ideas on how to accomplish my
task
of retrieving data from Outlook Express (*.dbx formats) using Ruby?

Yes. because Outlook Express does not provide the OLE automation
interface, but Outlook does.
Win32OLE access the OLE automation interface.
Unfortunately, you can not control Outlook Express like Outlook
using any other Language (VBScript, Perl, Python, … etc.) which
access the OLE automation interface.

Anyway, I think I will try to find a Ruby parser or something like that.
It
is not a easy task for me to integrate C++ with Ruby (using SWIG for
some
wrapping work maybe).
Regards and Thanks,
Bob
