(C) Outlook -- List Selected Fields in Messages

Demonstrates how to list the messages in a particular Outlook mailbox folder, but selects particular fields to be returned.

This uses the OData $select system query option. See OData System Query Option $select for general information.

Also see OData URL Conventions for information about $select and other query options.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.68 or greater.

This example applies to: Exchange Online | Office 365 | Hotmail.com | Live.com | MSN.com | Outlook.com | Passport.com
