Outlook Redemption 4 Released

“Redemption 4.0.0.452
Version 4.0 of Redemption includes a completely new library: RDO (Redemption Data Objects) that can function as a complete replacement of the CDO 1.21 library.

While Safe*Item Redemption objects are designed to be used with either Outlook Object Model or CDO 1.21 objects to work around the security prompts with minimum modifications to the existing code, RDO is designed to provide a complete functionality replacement for CDO 1.21, which besides being blocked by the security patch, also hasn't been updated (functionality-wise) for almost 10 years.

RDO blends the low level access of CDO 1.21 with the functionality of the Outlook Object Model. It can be used from any code: COM add-ins, EXEs, scripts, Windows Services, etc. It can be used in any language that supports IDispatch-friendly objects (VB, VB Script, Java, .Net languages, C/C++, Delphi, etc).

If you are doing ANY Outlook/MAPI/CDO development, then you owe it to yourself to check out Outlook Redemption. This is a must have tool…

Today I heard the 4.0 has been released and that there’s now a new very cool library called Redemption Data Objects (RDO – Which reminds me of old RDO – Remote Data Objects, but that’s just cause I’ve been VB Man since V1…)

I could have really used this about 6 months ago when I migrated an Outlook 2000 (pre-Security SP) to Outlook 2003. Talk about painful…

Anyway, this sounds VERY cool and I’m glad to see Redemption continue to improve with age.
