Why Security Manager for Outlook?
Disable Outlook security with a line of code
With Outlook Security Manager you need just a line of code to disable Outlook security settings, and you can freely use any
protected Outlook objects such as contacts or items. This programming tool provides the easiest way to get round Outlook Security
when working with Outlook Object Model (OOM), Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) and Simple MAPI (SMAPI).
Simple and transparent
Outlook Security Manager is an in-process COM object that handles all internal events of the Outlook E-mail Security
Engine rather than "hacks" or "hooks". Unlike similar tools, it doesn't transform OOM and CDO calls to Extended
MAPI calls and doesn't make development more complicated by its own special objects.
It just implements one object with three properties that enable or disable Outlook Security for OOM, CDO and SMAPI. These properties are
DisableOOMWarnings, DisableCDOWarnings and DisableSMAPIWarnings.
Before calling a protected object you just disable Outlook Security via the corresponding property, and then you turn it on again.
Code examples
Bypass "A program is trying to access e-mail addresses..."
You need to set the DisableOOMWarnings property of Outlook Security Manager to true before execution of your add-in's code that is trying to access
protected Outlook objects.
C# code example:
SecurityManager.DisableOOMWarnings = true;
try
{
//...some actions with protected Outlook objects...
}
finally
{
SecurityManager.DisableOOMWarnings = false;
}
Disable "A program is trying to automatically send email..."
Call the ConnectTo method and set the DisableOOMWarnings property to true before executing the code that sends
email from Access, PowerPoint, Word or other Office applications using the Outlook Object Model.
VBA code example:
OlSecurityManager.ConnectTo OutlookApp
OlSecurityManager.DisableOOMWarnings = True
On Error Goto Finally
'... any action with protected objects, sending email...
Finally:
OlSecurityManager.DisableOOMWarnings = False
