I have been trying to connect to Microsoft Outlook folders using the
TADOConnection, but without much success.

I eventually managed to make a connection to an address book using the
connection string

PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; OUTLOOK 9.0; MAPILEVEL=Outlook Address
Book; DATABASE=C:\Temp; TABLETYPE=1;
but eventually worked out that it was connecting to an old Outlook Express
address book, and not my Outlook Contacts.

But no matter what I put for the MAPILEVEL, I cannot get any data from my
Outlook Mail Folders using

PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; OUTLOOK 9.0; MAPILEVEL=; DATABASE=C:\Temp;
TABLETYPE=0;

Any help would be greatfully appreciated.
