I already asked this here -> Gather Outlook contacts list
But the solution using MAPI doesnt looks bad, its very dependent on some Outlook lib’s which are not present on every PC also they have different location based on Win version and Outlook version.
So isnt there any other way to get contacts info other than using MAPI ?
Arent the contacts saved in files where i can read them from or something ?
Thanks in advance.
You could write your own Outlook pst parser based on the PST Format. Contacts are also available in this file.
