Changes to the CDO 1.21 object model

Sending mail

When a CDO 1.21 application calls the Send method of a Message object or a MeetingItem object, a dialog box informs the user that a program is trying to send mail on their behalf, and asks if the message should be sent. If the user clicks No, the Send method returns the following error message:

Collaboration Data Objects-[E_ACCESSDENIED(80070005)]

Accessing certain MAPI properties associated with a Message object that exists under a MAPI folder

When a CDO 1.21 application uses a Fields collection object to access MAPI properties associated with an existing Message item, a dialog box informs the user that a program is trying to access e-mail addresses that are stored in Outlook, and asks if they wish to allow this access. If the user clicks No, the Send method returns the following error message:

Collaboration Data Objects-[E_ACCESSDENIED(80070005)]

The following MAPI properties are affected:

PR_SENT_REPRESENTING_ENTRYID
PR_SENT_REPRESENTING_SEARCH_KEY
PR_SENT_REPRESENTING_NAME
PR_SENT_REPRESENTING_ADDRTYPE
PR_SENT_REPRESENTING_EMAIL_ADDRESS
  
PR_SENDER_ENTRYID
PR_SENDER_SEARCH_KEY
PR_SENDER_NAME
PR_SENDER_ADDRTYPE
PR_SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS
  
PR_DISPLAY_TO
PR_DISPLAY_CC
PR_DISPLAY_BCC
  
PR_ORIGINAL_DISPLAY_TO
PR_ORIGINAL_DISPLAY_CC
PR_ORIGINAL_DISPLAY_BCC

Accessing the items under a Contacts folder

When a CDO 1.21 application accesses the Messages collection object of a Contacts folder, the dialog box described just above (for MAPI properties) appears.

Manipulating recipients or AddressEntries collections

CDO 1.21 also displays the dialog box described just above under the following scenarios:

The Recipients collection is invoked for actions that involve reading the recipients of an e-mail message.
The AddressEntries collection is called to reach an AddressEntry within the collection. For example:
```
objRecipientCollection.Item(index)
objAddressEntriesCollection.Item(index)
					
```
In creating an outbound message, the Resolve method is called on newly populated Recipients collection.

Handling attachments

When you use the Attachments collection object of a Message object to retrieve each attachment in the collection, CDO 1.21 does not return "unsafe" (Level 1 Security files) file attachments in the collection. For a list of Level 1 Security files, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

262631 Information about the Outlook E-mail Security Update

Unsafe attachments are not physically deleted from disk, but CDO 1.21 is unaware of their existence. For instance, the Count property of the Attachments object returns the number of attachments excluding all unsafe attachments.
